Inspired by Moonwashed Weekly Challenge – Resplendent &
Reena’s Exploration Challenge #242
two fighter jets looked down
on the destruction they created
the war zone now resplendent
with white and grey tangled shards
of concrete building remnants in the streets
the bodies of the innocent
dotted with bright red blood
limbs splayed and everywhere
black patches of unearthed greenery
rejoicing in the colors of war
claiming a supposed victory
mission accomplished
returning to base

War from a distance can be pretty but the reality on the ground is the worst kind of ugly…

Excellent take on the prompts, Susi! I had the same thoughts when I looked at the image, as well. We’re living in some difficult times. Thank you so much for joining in.
