Puzzle Of Paradise

Who flee the flames that destroy broken homes
and wander dusty roads that go nowhere
when men with swords, guns, and official laws
pulverize the puzzle of paradise.
I stare at white walls in my clean safe home,
ignoring news on television screen
that conceal how more bombs in distant towns
pulverize the puzzle of paradise.
Every new day another bomb explodes
and hundreds of people with pulsing hearts
cry as masks become birds when angry flames
pulverize the puzzle of paradise.
I carve lost names and stories of their lives
on trunks of dead trees with cracked fingernails
so mute angels will sing how greedy men
pulverize the puzzle of paradise.

Another wonder. Thank you for this
