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.

Author's Note

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!!!

Excellent write about the casualties of war.. and those of us who are peace-nicks have little recourse but to sit back and watch it all happen. I feel sorry for those who flame the call of war.. I still hope there will be peace in my lifetime.

Yes, like you say when will it end? I feel for the people in Israel who have to live with bombs coming in from Palestinians year after year, for so long. I feel for those people, the children who have to grow up with the Palestinians bombing them daily and yearly. Why do the Palestinians like to kill children in Israel? Why doesn't the rest of the Middle East let those people come to their countries. Jordan is where they mainly come from. Not a good political move when you desire to kill anyone who isn't Muslim. Maybe a huge number of people don't think the people of Israel are human beings so its okay to bomb them year after year. So, I ask, if you and yours were attacked on a regular basis, year after year would you not defend your family? But wars won't end until people like the Palestinians desire to destroy and kill ends. But is that likely? No. Wars have always been with us. Sad but true.

Its such a shame what we will have to leave for our children and the next generations to come. I pray that they can understand what we are doing and learn not to take the same path. They have a lot of fixing to do.

Great write.

Yes. I hate wars too. But what can I do? I am one person against many. *sighs*
Anyway, great poem. This really speaks volumes to those who listen. And, yes, Pax, you're right... to a degree. There are some people who do not feed on greedy notions and ideas. I try to be one of those people, but it's so woven into the human genetic code that it's hard. This also makes those who fight it stronger than those who don't.
Anyway, I've spouted enough philosophy for one day, so I leave here this message:
Keep up the great work!

It is hard to believe how much pain and killing goes on everyday in our world, most of it for power and money which are the devil's tools of corruption... and God gave us the gift of free will and unfortunately many use that to benefit themselves.

[Jo March]

This is amazing. So beautiful and true. How can anyone kill a child? This poem reflects a truth we all know, yet you have written it so beautifully and eloquently. Thank you.

Like you Coyote I despise war for it resolves nothing. Only when all guns are laid down can resolution begin, and really, the guns never had to be picked up in the first place. Wars are fought over land, resources, religion and race. No other species on this planet wages war except the chimpanzee, ironically our closest relative. Is this the end? Of us, possibly. Of our current dysfuntional way of life, it has to be. The world itself will most likely continue on, and through our demise the planet's chances of survival increase dramatically.

i agree with the detailed and brilliant analogy which Pax gave. this is the type of thing which has made me sad ever since i was old enough to understand the evil within man. this poem speaks volumes and speaks for many many people throughout the world. well written and well said!

peace peace peace, something we have always been hearing about but does it really exist? i really doubt that there is something called peace in such crazy world..can anybody wise tell me who with whom?who is against whom? united states supporting Israel and at the same time united states says they are with the syrian, Libyan, Egyptian and Yemin people! can this ever make sense?Russia says they are with the government in Syria although they understand the right of the Syrian people to have freedom!! Israel has always been complaining of the unfair treatment and now they themselves are treating others unfairly! israel will really lose if they think they can do everything they want by force specially after new governments have appeared in the burning middle east erea, governments which care for the real opinion of the people, unlike the previous ones...
man, you are very sensitive...you have been affected with what is happening here, but do you think peace can ever find its way in this complicated area? i dont think it can...
