Peace, mercy and forgiveness.

Forgiveness and the lost of hate. Is mercy for our spirit. Can't live in the past.

                     Peace, mercy and forgiveness.

Peace, my friend.
Will it be possible when we bury our last child wrapped in flags of honor?
When the hate and violence of war kill off all the good in our world?
War is man's sin. Sending the young men and woman to die for the profit of war.

A eye for a eye world.
No-one will win.
Our children will pay for our hate and separation.

I loaded the dead from Death Valley into storage containers.
Thousand of men lost to war. We freeze the bodies waiting for the war to end.
Families didn't know if their sons and fathers were dead.
No mercy in war. No mercy for the people left behind.
Just a lifetime to learn to understand.
War take the best from us.

Forgiveness.
We send our children to war.
Do we blame the enemy or our country?

Time for USA.
To quit sending guns and soldiers to keep war alive.
Quit supporting people who hate us.
Time to fix the problems at home.
Invest in the people.

Our kids need opportunity. Education and time to enjoy their life.

Old wise saying.
"Fix your house first before trying to fix somebody else house."

War is man's sin.

Time to lock down our borders.
Leave the bad folks out.
Time for the healing to begin.

We need peace, mercy and forgiveness for the sake of the children.

Peace is a word. Does it have meaning?

Amen Coyote to every word written! It is true...way past time to bring it back home and heal our wounds & broken systems...
Peace, Mercy, Forgiveness...not just words..actions..
some of us do live it.. we know the riches it holds...

others only yell peace , while slapping with the other hand

[Coyote Poetry]

It is sad. We gave Syria weapons. Then we cried for the dead. Our leaders are blind or fools. Each day the young people pay for the greed of a country based on war. Time to give food, water and medicine. Not guns and Soldiers. Thank you for the comment.

I know .. we did not give them guns..our leaders did...our leaders do not cry..we do.. there is a great separation between us and our so called leaders...if they listen to us like they should..it would be different...I found it repulsive myself when sandy hook happened and Obama grandstands on guns..while doing this...and giving guns to the drug cartels in mexico...what can we do Coyote when our government won't listen to its people? We do this.. like minds do find a way to communicate to each other..its not much..but its a beginning..

This is the first poem of yours that I've read. And even from reading just one I have a sense of your passion and morals. This poem has a great and true meaning. Well done keep up the good work.

Thank you for reading.

War is a rich man's game. For others, it's a last resort to obtain justice, freedom, and happiness.

Wow Coyote, what a moving poetry . Had me emotional just reading through it. I wish there was a faster way for the inhabitants of this planet to learn that "war is never the answer to humanity's plight "

I love this poem but to close the borders? Cooperation should be the action not isolation

I enjoy the use of repetition and the solemn tone, it is very effective

[Coyote Poetry]

The men who set the bomb in Boston were criminals in Russian. They lived on welfare. Why were they allowed in the USA. People with bad records need to be turn down for visas. This should be the rule for all countries. Invest in proper security and allow the people who are tourist into the USA and your country. Thank you for the comment.
