End Of Days?
Deformed, Gollum merman bereft;
confined, teeth bared and skeletal hands -
screams in sepia, Munch-like, out of bell-jar:
dilated, blackened eyes lifted to the skies:-
9/11, Madrid, 7/7, Bali, Paris, Brussels,
Mumbai, Istanbul, Nice, Berlin, Kabul,
Manchester, London: inhumanity and terror -
agonising, beseeching "when will it all end?"
From the bell-jar, 'answer came there none'.
