Bombs

I wrote this poem as a personal declaration in response to the wars that are going on around the world

Bombs are going off
All over the world
People are fighting
Dying every second
Every minute someone
Else passes away because
Of war and hate and pride
Bombs go off in the night
They go off during the day
Snatching life in their wake
Leaving nothing but a hole
In the ground as they wound
The Earth and wound each 
Other as bullets fly over head
Not always finding their target
But always leaving damage 
Somewhere as the fly along
Carnage and destruction and
Hatred all over the world
The world needs a healing
She is weary of the wounds
That bombs and bullets and
Man inflicts on the Earth and
Even to each other in the
Advancement of war and
Anger and hatred and greed
Propagating death and disease
Destroying the Earth and her 
Children as well and leaving
People without a place to stay
Without a home as they wonder
The globe wondering how they
Are going to feed themselves
And their families when they
Have been violently torn away
From everything they know
Because of war and what has
Been claimed that was never 
Meant to be taken in the first
Place to begin with and staking
Claim on the land and on the
Hearts and will of the people
That just happen to be there 
At the time just trying to live
Their lives their way until 
Bombs fly over head and
Death finds them like a 
Thief taking everything
They have ever known
Forever changing them 
And the world around them
We need a healing and the 
Earth needs a rest from all
Of these bombs and wars 
And bullets that tear through
Our mother's heart as she
Watches her children destroy
Needlessly for no goo

So very true. War and bombs and bullets need to stop. But on an editor's note: I think your missing a letter at the end.

I think you are right.

Sadly true what you write here Ahmad, and though I hope that humanity will one day pull it's head from it's a*s, I have serious doubts. In my honest opinion, however, the best thing we could do to save the Earth would be to destroy ourselves.

You might wanna check that last line. It's a sad but true poem. A real display of the world. I like to look at Revelations in the bible because of how it proves all evil has a comeback from good. There are soo many people who do evil for their own idea due to thought that they needed to. And so many feel they won't get a reprocussion for their acts, so reading revelations really proves how your actions affect your life and character. Thanks for writing. Well done as usual ^^

Great piece. The message is admirable. The athmosphere was sorrowful and very well invoked. Great piece.

this is very strong poem against war and evil in the world! shows that you have the heart of peace and love, ahmad! i wish everyone to not just watch but "fight" in all ways against this crazyness and illness of the world...I watched so many little children who died in their innocence bcs of the "non-human" bombs! every day, on christmas and before that, they don`t know when they will survive, when they will die, every day even people die from hunger and 10 times more -from killing...I wish everyone to read and understand inside him, that killing is "against humanity" this is act of devil! and make your position strong, and also ask why! bcs there is no logical answer for that.

Its true. I knew you could feel my intent in this poem

I prefer when you're positive I must be honest...your good vibes are much more powerful than your not so good vibes

[Ahmad Cox]

Yeah when I first wrote this one I knew it would be contraversional but at the same time I wanted to cast a light on the wars that are going on and the people that are most affected are usually the innocent that have nothing to do with it.

I can understand that...sometimes it is necessary!
