Dead ends

Time for all of us to think and do the right things. Before it is too late for us and nature.

                 Dead ends

Brothers told no-one they were scared.
Stood on a chair and told the world to f-off.
Baby sister cried and family learn to live without the laughter
of two strong boys.

Young girl told me she is useless.
Better off dead. She had did many bad things.
No forgiveness for woman who wasted everything she touched.
I told her. "Jesus can forgive. You must forgive yourself and become wiser
in choices. Stop and think. Re-set your journey. Can't change the past. But you
can decide the future"

Old man sat alone.
Thinking of dead memories.
Missing voices gone and not forgotten.
He wondered  could he had of changed people journeys?
Could he had of been kinder?
Tears fall from his eyes.

Wars are alive and well.
Old Soldier sat at grave stone of a good friend.
He drink his friend favorite Miller's beer.
Told his friend. "Kids are strong and beautiful. You are a grandpa now twice.
The little boy looked like you. I miss you my friend. I wished I could hear your
laughter and I know what you would tell me. It will be alright Johnnie. I know you will
be there for my kids." I leave four Miller's beer on a lonely grave and pray my friend is watching his children from heaven.

Someone killed people in Wisconsin.
Just people going to worship.
I saw their faces of the family and friends after the shooting.
Exploding with tears and sadness.
Old world is going mad.
Why would anyone kill another in a church of prayer or anywhere for no reason?
We need a billion prayers for love and kindness to be rebirth in our world.

"Too much death lord.
Please protect the children.
Please send wisdom and guidance to our leaders.
Lord of life and death.
Please help us. We are being led by Beserkers who want hate over love.
Want murder over conversation.
They desire blood of another because of religion."

Today we stand on a dangerous edge.
Israel threatening war.
Middle East can send the world on the final journey.
Weapons and Soldiers cannot bring peace.
Destroying beautiful cities don't create friendships.
Words of hate lead us to no-where.

We are all flesh and bones.
We know pleasure and pain.
If you stand for nothing.
One day you wished you scream out against war.
One day you will wished you told a love one you loved them.

One day we will be on a dead end road.
Too late for tears and forgiveness.

I pray and  hope for logic and common sense. Need a miracle.
Common people everywhere must stop the berserkers of war and violence.
Stand together for peace and kindness.

Send food and medicine. Not weapons and Soldiers.
Tell someone you miss and love them. You need them near.

Author's Note

Finally a new poem.

Reviews

I really like how you make your plea both about the world and about personal lives. I had a friend and mentor who taught me that we all need to think globally and act locally.

The planet needs our help, the human race is always in need of help, and there are people we know and others we come in contact with, that we can help by giving just a smile.

Great work :)

Another tragic yet beautiful piece. I like how personal your writing feels.

I spend 15 years in the military. I was single and I volunteered for Bosnia and Africa. Taught me. USA is a great country. Not perfect. Thank you for reading and the comment.

Stunning imagery and emotion!

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Michael. Real life is more scary than fiction.

Leaders who support war have never fought, nor will ever fight a war themselves. Give the lawmakers Kevlar and let them take enemy fire, make them experience multiple mortar strikes on a day to day basis, let them feel the pain of losing friends in an instant.

"I pray and hope for logic and common sense. Need a miracle.
Common people everywhere must stop the berserkers of war and violence.
Stand together for peace and kindness."

This my friend we desperately need. Thanks for sharing.

I hope we learn soon for the sake of the children. Thank you for reading and the comment.

If only the leaders of the world could see this. If only the war-makers could see this. If only the world could see this. Yet, these are only 'if only-s'. I really loved this.

Thank you for the comment. I see change happening. I fear if we lose Hillary Clinton. World will be in trouble. Need voices of strength and hope in our world. She is a respected leader.

Light shines in this write of wanting light when there is darkness. A beautiful write. Excellent creating.

[Tarry Franck]

very well thought out - you touched on so many emotions and truths - great job - love it :)

[GunMetal]

This is beautiful. Filled with passion and desperation throughout. Fueled by love of love, and pouring with grief. Just excellent, my friend.

[Tina Kline]

A very powerful poem and message...war does so much damage in lives firstly and most importantly.

Excellent poem.

[Star Wolf]

I think you can sum it up in one word right now: New World Order that all the leaders of the world want, no exceptions. But the battles will go on even then. How can one body of people hold a one world government together when most people just want to be free. Awesome poem!
