The Gospel told by a common man

World is going crazy. USA need to reset our goals.

                      The Gospel told by a common man


              Men with wife and children.
              Fugitive to the ability to succeed.


              With the grain of hope.
              We beckon for a trace of kindness.


              Poverty inflicts all with equality.
              Race and religion mean nothing.
              When you are hungry and homeless.


              Frigid and endangered economy.

              Erode hopes and dreams.

              Held hostage by Leaders in Washington.

              Common man and woman forsaken.
              Left on the sideline hoping and praying.


              Humph and f**k by loan companies.
              Soon Americans will become nomads.


              Wars expedite hiding the flames of truth.
              Shameless leaders beleaguer us with stories
              of Devils and ghosts.


              Soon we will will be isolated and lobotomy.
              Be like tame relics in a museum.


              Need to remove our restrains.
              Start the saga of forth-right people.


              Stop the epidemic of lies.
              Chastise the thieves and so-call leaders.


              We must lust for a good world.
              Jump over hurdles of hate and violence.
              Began a eulogy of a human race who wants
              the truth.


              We need men with mercy and wisdom.
              The erosion of the USA must stop.


              Men/Woman with blind eyes to the poor and sick.
              Lover's of War.


              Their filthy and bloody dreams must died.


               We need the human race who pass out food and 
               medicine.


                Not gun and death.


                We must elect honest men/woman who won't
                change their vote after they are elected.


                For the children. All children.

                Need to put the guns down.

                End the violence.

                Don't need tears of USA, Africa and Asia Mother's.


                For sons and daughter killed and slaughtered for
                the so-call good will of Evil men/woman.

[James Eichenlaub]

Germany in the 1940s held similar views and turned to an erratic and psychotic leader to manage it. This and other countries are doing the same today and will pay the same toll. I don't mean to preach, and yet this was foretold long ago... "terrible times will come. For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, without love of good, traitorous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power." It's a sad world in which we live.

[Coyote Poetry]

I agree James. We are on the train ride to hell. This is a old poem with the same meaning today. I have five grandchildren. I hope we leave something for them.

[Valentine]

Nothing means much if you are hungry and homeless or noed by this world or anyone in it. Nice write. Valentine

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you dear friend. So much suffering and men still want to test each other and see who have the biggest balls. If we don't change soon. What will be left for the kids?

[Frank]

Coyote, you are tired of war, many people are. Its time for you to rest and write poetry. But war will come and the innocent nations will have to take up arms again. I am afraid so.

[Coyote Poetry]

I'm afraid you are right. It is sad. We send our brightest and strongest off to war. Thank you for reading and the comment.

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

A preach like piece, you portray knowledge and simplicity, as always you amaze me, well done, good read.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Thomas. My father taught me hard work and demanding respect was key. I'm tire of war. Too many people are being lost to hate and violence. I pray for better days.

[Glen Yumang Manese]

Seems more a speech to the nation... within the lines of this verse... the way you convey your words to the reader... as if one is on a podium and saying these words aloud... I will not elaborate more into the subject matter... since I came here a bit later than the rest of the reviewers... which I believe cover this topic... you've written for the general public...

[ApplesAreAmazing]

I enjoyed this poem very much. Thank you for writing this!

[Gray Witch]

Enjoyed this and think you have a deep appreciation for what type of world you would like to see...Thank you for writing...

Thank YOU for writing :) I don"t see this as a poem, but rather, a plea, for the creation of good, the love of all, and the heart to stand. Resounding!

[Rosalind Gale]

I thought I would go back to the beginning Coyote, and see how it all began for you on here. I am very glad I did. This poem is both lyrical and hard-nosed, strong in sentiment, unforgiving. It has a heart that beats gently, philosophically and with understanding. Thank you for this.
