Mourning Mothers

Dignified, they are
the mourning mothers.
Scarfed and subservient.
They wait.
Silently they wait.

Grainy pictures.
Fresh graves.

Crass he is
the crazy crook.
Moppish and misplaced.
He rants.
Raucously he rants.

His face fills the screen
He's everything he's always been.
A Holy War.
That's what it's all for.

And still,
amidst the chaos.
Dignified and aloof,
They still sit.

Silently.
Patiently.
Womanly.

Peace

Today the 52nd child now fatherless because of this conflict...

Today the 106th soldier killed this year was announced this evening too...

A dreadful Christmas for their families.
A dreadful Christmas for all who have lost someone in the forces in Afghanistan this year.

My thoughts are with them.I know there will be two minutes silence from me on Christmas day.

Peace to all men?
