Is It Tonight Lord

By Richard L. Provencher

Is It Tonight Lord?

 

A child once chased

a kite through this playground

used to be a school here

too. Now only blood remains

soil defaced--

where an Assad tank sowed

seeds of hate.

 

Is it tonight Lord

when you drown this world

with your tears?
