Under fiery skies,
Spewing burnt cobalt,
To bring down Black Raven
Or leave scattered lambs like sand,
With no shepherd left
To tend his flock.

War's jigsaw still missing pieces
Lies unfinished,
Untouched
Upon round table
Circled by dogs
Snarling, howling, whining all the while
Fetching fame
From our undesired scraps.

This is based on the civil war in Syria and how the United States government responded to Obama's declare of military action.
