the bushbrain
leaves a stain
of bloody ground

a trail of dead
children unfed
a painful sound

two wrongs no gain
and a world of pain
peace unfound

A fairly concise poem based around a simple rhyme scheme that gets across statements through the use of unembellished - staccato delivered points.

In other words I quite like this.  

One suggestion, try moving the “and” from the second-last line to the last line, it doesn’t change the meaning but might scan better.

Shou-Lao, I loved your concise analysis of this. Perfect.

And your suggestion works wonderfully.

Thank you.  *)
