Are we crazy the people of this world?

I worry for the children. What will be left?

Are we crazy the people of this world?
 

I pray a prayer to the spirit of life and death.
Please sent wisdom to the leaders of this world.

We bludgeon our planet.

Who will pay the price for our greed?

Our water is being choke to death by oil spills.
The sea life will die without a cry or outrage by no-one.




    (Oil fires in Iraq)




War is killing people daily.
Killing for religion and oil.
A eye for a eye.
No-one will win.
We will just all be dead.
                  (Death valley, Iraq)

Soldiers are dying for oil and rich men.
I pray these b******s making money off war.
Pay their debt in hell forever.


The world can be beautiful.
We must stop the hatred.
Men of peace must come to the front.
The leaders need to talk of peace.



(My friend Don with his children and my daughter. He was  killed in Iraq in August 2004.)

If we keep going in the direction of hate and War.
What will we leave for the children of this world?


We must get angry and demand the wars to stop everywhere.
We must protect the water and earth.


If we stand bye and do nothing.
We are as guilty as the leaders who want more blood.

Author's Note

We are living in bad times. The world need to be re-directed from war and hate. We are one people. If this world falls apart. We shall die together.

... brilliantly written and brilliantly presented ... these are relevant and rampant issues ... aggravated by ulterior motives ... the first step is to talk about it fearlessly and you've done that remarkably ... thank you for writing this and sharing this ... (highest rating) ...

This world has gone mad and the thing is; We can't stop those who have pushed us over the edge.

R.I.P. to your friend my dear.

[Ed Hart]

the world has always been thus; and yes, we are walking off the edge...thank you for being an on going beckon of sanity...Ed

You're words are so very true. Perhaps people are starting to wake up, perhaps its just an illusion or dream. It's all so very sad. It seems like this stuff is never ever going to stop.

[Hello, Goodbye]

Evocative in its punchy delivery.

[RAWR!]

awesome stuff; well written, i liked the images you added aswell, fuels the poem.
well done

[Huggy Bear]

Great piece about death and society as a whole.

[Gomer LePoet]

Coyote you are so right. The problem is how do you do that. There have been more than 3000 wars fought because of religious beliefs since the beginning of recorded time. The rightous never seem to be content with others beliefs. Another problem is as long as non democratic anarchists are allowed to run countries and even the democratic countries whose scrupuls are in question. Is there any doubt why the US entered into war in Iraq? It is pretty obvious what the agenda was there. I wish I had the answer.

So very true. There are so many bad things going on in the world right now that I wish could be righted. Sadly, if people were willing to change then we really could change the entire world.

[Coraline Havoc]

Oh this poem speaks the truth. I feel guilty for all of the men and or women in war. I wish I could save them. But.. everyone dies eventually right? Death is one of the pains no one can stop, but can cause.

[Allison]

U r right. We need to put a stop to this! Great poem!!!
