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.

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 :)

I too, pray for these same words. The world is a scary place, sometimes...we do need to pray for the children. Although this may sound cliche', they are our future, and we must teach them, and most of all, love them. This is a great write, one that I will take to heart. Thank you for sharing this message.

A very nice poem :D

[Aianarie (INACTIVE)]

A beautiful story with incredible depth, told in poem form. Excellent, excellent.

Whatever you have been through and lived through is a blessing to us. Your writing emulates so much wisdom and emotion and just realness (not a real word but
its useful now). This poem made me sad because the truth is that most people won't heed your advice. Most people won't say I love you now...instead they'll regret tomorrow. The way you think amazes me!! You have a beautiful mind! Thank you for sharing :)

[Ladysue]

if only there were more people like you..this was brilliantly conveyed..

[Sheila Kline]

Words of wisdom gleaned from observation of a hurting world, and the need for one to heal self first, reach out to others, and to care for God's creation before it is too late! This makes me think of the song, "Eve of Destruction"....are we not there???

[Call_Me_Miss_Imperfect]

I like this and how you told a story! I agree that we all need to stand together and stop all of the wars and violence. If our world was about love and happiness, then we would be in better shape wouldn't you think so? I love how your work, is usually up to date on current issues of this world which most people don't do that. I sometimes write about current society problems, but you know more teenage based! Ha. This piece is rather interesting and speaks a powerful message on peace. Well done like always, I enjoy your work a lot! :)
