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!!!

Alright...I'm going to do my best not to cry now. You're right, how can someone kill a child? Tears me heart to think about my littel sister ever being killed, or any child for that matter..child as so inoccen and precious and, I just love them...
All this war and crap just..makes me want to scream and cry..

very intense and emotional my friend...unfortunately the world is filled with those who profit from War...greed, power, evil, and the ability to ignite and brainwash the youth of this generation, when will it end...when mankind destroys the World...

I agree 100% with you coyote, fighting and wars wont solve anything in life, it only bringsfear, pain, and death. yeah, we some people know that it will only continue, but sometimes I just call it 'human life'. innocent men, children, and women dont deserve to be killed, they deserve to be living in a peaceful world ... but we all know that its gonna be hard to find that. Ive heard that wars were created because the leader/king/president was to aggresive that they decided to begin a war, and turn a peaceful land into a dump ... a pile of dust ... and a desert.
there are times when humans need to use thier own hands to fight through life, instead of using God's hands.
Im really sad to see that evil will never end ... it will only continue ... killing everyone until they all vanish ... if there was ever a way to stop it ..
I really liked masterpiece ... it really inspired me (:
great work
thanks for sharing.

I completely agree with you. War and destruction are more prevalent in today's world. The killings of innocent people in Palestine, Myanmar etc really touch me. It has had no effect on any organization. Some of them keep fretting about the denial of rights to animals etc ( I know it is important but is it of more importance than that of humans? ) and when it comes to humans, no one cares. Such is the miserable state of this world.

I really liked the title. I think if it continues this way, the end will come sooner rather than later. The message of the poem is conveyed brilliantly. A thought provoking poem and it was an enlightening read. I really wish and pray that the world becomes a peaceful one yet again.

It is indeed a sin. Brilliant thoughtful poem.

I hate wars, too, John - you know that by now. I'm still so sure that every time a war's declared or begun it'll be the dress rehearsal, the start of the end. One day Man will get it right, press the right button and BANG! Until then, the babies and the old will be the victims of what's begun by people who .. live with their eyes closed and their brains switched off.

Many thanks for reminding people of what's become a historical habit.
