Is this the end my friend?

I'm tire of war. I'm tire of naysayers of peace. Is blood and death is what we will leave for the next generation?

Is this the end my friend?



I saw children being killed in the Middle East .
They are killing babies.
So many mama's and babies being killed.
Where is God?
Where are the Prophets of peace?

Please lord.
Stop the killing of the innocent.
Allow the gardens of life and minds to grow without fear.

Is this the end my friend?
Jesus told us. Hurt a child. You create pain in him.
Poor Jesus must be crying a million tears for the one million children
dying monthly of starvation.

The guns are a-blazing.
Great cities are falling.
Israel turn the tables.
Once was the prey. Now accomplished killer/predator of people in their way.

There is no room in paradise for men who authorize killing of people and destroying cities.
This is the work of evil.

I believe the world turning a blind eye.
Leaving small country to countries hiding their true reasons to search and destroy.

I go to the quiet forest.
I pray.
Stop the guns.
Stop the bleeding of poor babies, woman and men trying to hold on to their home and cities.
The blood increases everyday.
The blood bath added more war and killing.
Hate is alive and well in our world.

Brother's killing brother. Internal struggle destroying once great countries.
What will be left when we kill  all the kindness that is left?

Who is crying for the misplaced Libyan and Palestinian?
Israel must stop pushing people away from their homeland
and Libya must regain wisdom.

I'm tire of war.
Where are the gentle hands of peace?
Where are the voices of love to stop the madness?

Is this the end my friend?
Are all of our hands soaked deep in  blood?
We don't see the misery around us?

Was an old myth.
Where Soldiers would not fight anymore.
Where greed and hate lost strength standing alone.

War is a sin.
Killing women and children for the profit of war.
Make any country involved guilty as the Soldiers or country doing the killing.


Time for people of peace to stand together everywhere.

If you stand for nothing. Don't raise your voice in disappointment.
What will you do when your child will march off to war because you did
not give a nickle.

War is a sin, my friend.

I hate the wars. I will never understand how anyone can kill a child?

humans are power hungry beings... some keep on feeding the fires of greed... the worst thing is that when the fire blows up for it reaches its limits then war will be the result... war and its drastic effects... how can we stop war on this conflicting human nature, the clash of personal beliefs and hunger for something more... it’s tiring at times that humans never learned from the mistakes of the past… like everything keeps on reaping itself… a cycle that never ends… I often wonder if the hands of karma and fate are part of this… mother nature and the next generation are suffering for some neglected to thing about the effects of war into a child’s mind or no child has lived to see the next future for they have suffer the consequences of this conflict which is death and lastly nature and its inhabitants are slowly dying as well… Lies and Truth are mixed up, turning into a confusion that end up in war and the understanding each other’s point of view is totally erase by anger fueled with greed making both parties blind from the truth…
a very expressive piece mr. Cayote…
thought-provoking as well….
Brilliant!!!

So much truth here. I love this essay.

There is nothing right about killing children. In no way is that “human nature”. War is racial insanity, and is neither economically nor politically necessary. Let peace reign.

People can be rehabilitated. Murder is a choice, not an instinct or genetic defect.

[Coyote Poetry]

I agree. How do we fix bad dog leaders? Thank you Sarah for reading and the comment. I do appreciate.

[ROXANE DORSEY]

I feel the same way. Wars are bout land & money. Shame people have to be subjected to such ignorance and hatred. Thanks for this piece of poetry.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Roxane for reading and the comment. I do appreciate.

[Diana]

Well-put. It seems like such a simple thing to oppose... I will never understand either.

One little thing I noticed- "I'm tire of war" (7th stanza from the bottom, line 1). Dropped d, I do believe.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Diana. I appreciate the help.

[T.W. Early]

A gritty and real criticism of war. A very powerful piece.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you my friend for reading. I believe most soldiers do not support war. After seeing war. Men learn. War had no honor.

[Me]

Nice flowing poem, has a nice rhythm

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Michael. I appreciate the comment.

[Andrea Mouser]

:( children need to be protected and loved

[Coyote Poetry]

I agree. When we murder woman and children for the cause of war and hate. We are not human anymore. Thank you for reading and the comment.

[White Ink]

Heart breaking indeed. Sigh.

[Relic]

Being we are on the verge of sending rockets into Seria, this piece is just as prevalent today as it was when you first wrote it. The killing of families is more than sad, it is deplorable. Man has gotten to a stage now where there is nothing sacred or descent anymore. Thoughtfulness and consideration for the innocents has been raped and destroyed for their cause, Great write.

[Larry Dyson]

holy shades of Jim Morrison...yes all the religous leaders are turning in their graves...but im sorry going by the predictions in all of the great religions...we are gonna be here a good while longer...we haven't even begun to understand this Human emotion or soul...our spiritual essense is just barely distilling..Laury

Everyone says they can do nothing, because they are just one person and the governments are too big. That is true because everyone believes it.

We must all voice our concerns, tell the people in power how we feel about their drones, and their bombs, and their wars.

There is much evil in the world. It exists because people let it.
