Breaking Point

Where do their souls go?
Those who remorselessly die that others should die
To what is their eternal treasure
In what manner and to what measure?

“…on top of the situation”
“Chief Alhaji Dr Disdat condemns
the killing of innocent lives…”
Familiar music!

The breaking news bends us now
to breaking point
Sad responsorial Psalms
accompanying fading palms
bring us to more breaking news.
