They kill angels on earth dear God..A Poem by Coyote PoetryI concern and worry for my world.They are killing angels on earth dear God.. “The UN recorded at least 33,443 civilian deaths in armed conflicts in 2023, representing a 72 per cent increase compared with 2022, and the proportion of women and children killed doubled and tripled, respectively.” “There have been more than 385 mass shootings in 2024 so far, which is defined by the Gun Violence Archive as an incident in which four or more victims are shot or killed. In the USA.” I do love the great Moms Mabley. Her song had purpose and reason today. The world had accepted war with a blink of a eye. Death in Palestine, Israel, Ukraine and Russia. Just a number. When I was young. I watched the late sixties TV. The had body counts. USA soldiers and the Vietnam soldiers counted like a game show. I didn’t understand what the reason for. Now it create great sadness. The USA love their guns. USA had more weapon of death than the whole world. After the murder of Christina Grimmie and the Orlando massacre. They attempted to change the rules on gun ownership. The NRA bought the Republican. We are less safe today. They are killing angels my dear friends. Angry and hateful men prefer death over the safety of the children, of the women. The greedy people who profit from war. Need war. “There are at least 32 ongoing conflicts worldwide1. These conflicts cover various regions and types, including armed conflicts“ Guns cost money, bullets cost money. Planes cost billions, tanks cost millions and the value of a soldier life. Mean little. My Ojibwa poem for the killing of angels.. “Little one, don’t you cry. Once day, the gun will stop shooting, the bombs will not be heard. My little one, don’t you hide. Someday our world can be safe for you. Someday we won’t see race, religion or color. We will become just people. Little one, we must stand for peace and hope. All of gather in the comfort of nature. Pray in the voices of many for no more war, no more violence. I pray we learn the babies are angels, the children are angel. The kind women are angels. Just seeking to be safe.” When a violence man killed Christina Grimmie. We learn. They kill angels dear Lord. When they murdered Abe Lincoln, Martin Luther King Jr., John F. Kennedy and his brother. Robert Kennedy. How men of peace can be killed. How many children will die in Palestine today? How many children will die in Russia and Ukraine today? Do we know their name? They are killing angels on earth God. Where are the peacemaker. One earth, one people. We must get along. Coyote © 2024 Coyote PoetryAuthor's Note
