This week's O.S.I. prompt is chaos. I'd like to dedicate this poem to the people of Haiti. May God bless them during this difficult time.
Crumbling world
Shattering all existence
Homes buried in rubble
The world tumbles
Flesh and bone
Bruised on stone
Cries to God echo
Echo
Deafening earthquake
Ceases all laughter
Pieces of life
Scattered like breadcrumbs
Sorrows shouted to God
God
Hear the murmurs
Screams of madness
A lingering sadness
Strong hands shall build
Build
Erect brick and stone
Reclaim body and soul
Rekindling love and hope
Hope
But fragmented minds
Reverberate in hearts
Spirits disillusioned
Who shall wake them
From chaos?
