Solace

War without end, occupation of the innocent      laughing gestures behind backs  That the front is so perfect when all is spent      that fright is in every face An end is perceived but delusion prevails      mocking birds sing through the night While silent and still are the calls of the owls      and solace becomes nothing but wait

A very effective if not grim outlook on world events. I also detected a bit of prophecy in your well selected words. Your use of the birds both mocking bird and owls are chilling. Great write
