Lack of Human Values (Haiku)

"Army", "war"
Killing fields of mines
tanks rattle in firing lines
innocent lives die.

Suicide bombers’ spree
maimed bodies thrown far and free
for merit from high.

Bludgeoned from behind
robbed raped or maimed, deeds unkind 
fatal victims lie.
"Stop abuse", "Child abuse", "beat"
An action so gross
a child misused by vile force
no-one hears his cry.
