Bloody Carnival

HIV, Starvation and War. Hard to see the good in this world.

 Bloody Carnival

















Disoriented and disenchanted with my world around me.


The carnage and blood thirst of war overpowered the men  and
woman of peace.


Asylum of crazed leaders need to be put down like rabid dogs.

The innocent children are betrayed and dismissed as only
body counts.


Causes and clauses blind the common man.
We must stand in the place of the people in the war zones.


Feel the fear and emotion of death always being near.
Hunger and violence all around you.


The bloody Carnival of death growing by the second.


In Africa today.
30,000 will die of starvation.
30,000 will die of HIV.
Pray for men, woman and children fighting to stay alive.


More Soldiers to Afghanistan.
Going to places who do not want our help.


They want to be left to their own decisions.
Their direction and dreams must be allowed to happen.


The obsession and desire for more blood will destroy all that
is beautiful and good.


The horrendous cost  of war could feed and give a place
 to live to  every human being in this world.


The tyrants and men of hate.
Must learn from the men and woman in their countries.
War must end.

Mercy for the children.
Everywhere please.

Author's Note

I feel we must change directions. I asks my leaders why are we in the Middle East? They have no answers. Terrorist have been around for 3000 years at least. Better to have strong borders protection and proper security. There is no defense for crazed men who will died for a religion. We must protect the borders and allow the Middle East figure out what they want.

War is a very sensitive topic,
more sensitive when it comes to religious war.

I fail to understand why people would want to die for a religion.
when all religions say god is one, but with many names

Terrorists are around for 3000 years
but killers are around for much longer than that and its a basic instinct in every human

The more you desire for something, the more you want it
the more you want it, the more you will go behind it
and when this gives a clash, the person becomes defiant
defiancy leads to deadly desire, and nothing can stop that man from achieving what he wants.
Desire is the root cause of all evil

Everybody is rich in this world (rhetorical, read in religious sense)
But the way you spend things will make others seem more richer

Evrybody is poor in this world(rhetorical, read in religious sense)
but the way you understand things makes others seem poorer.

Border protection is important ,but no system is 100% secure.
People need not change the way they think
People need to change the way they understand others

Every War has a beautiful reason to start and a terrible reason to end.And if the End justifies the means ,as the saying goes I should accept with your point ,and every war is a failure

There is a saying in Telugu and it roughly translates as this :

The people who say that killing others is the only way to live
and to live, you have to kill
will they ever realise that they are their own enemies?

A wonderful piece of poetry , you have written down.However ,I should say , It falls flat when compared to the Killer on the Road.Rating : 100/100

I agree with this completely. The world needs to stop fighting and watch out for the generations to come. If we could fix all the trouble in the world, then there would not be any problems. Great write.

I think this is nice because I agree. I hate war and I hate learning about other people die. It's very sad to hear about. I think it is a good poem though. Thanks for sharing. :)

[Alice_In_WhateverLand]

this poem is extremely powerful. i enjoyed reading it. I also agree alone 636.

I read your note, and agree completely. We should not be "nation-building." The border situation is a disgrace. This would actually keep out some terrorists. Thank you for the thoughtful write. You are a wise patriot, Coyote.

Human nature is to war. This disappoints me in so much as we forget the "humanity" and look at the figures. These soldiers are mothers, fathers, humans. On both sides. War in its nature is corrupt.

Bold and strong words, all ringing true.

[Scarlet Pulse]

Very powerful and informative. You used a lot of imagery and I think helped some people come up to date with what is going on and realize how bad it is. it takes a lot to do that. Good job.

[Marie Harrison]

Hands down a favorite in my book! Much wisdom is packed in this powerful poem of peace. You could have replaced geographical places, with the replacement and this might be contrived as a Vietnam War poem. History does repeat itself over and over and....

[Huggy Bear]

Dark and informative poem:)

[Gomer LePoet]

This is a tough call. I agree with most of what you say, but we tried isolationism in the 30's and let Hitler get a strong foothold. We almost waited too long and if he had not made several strategic blunders, we might all be goose stepping today. You are right about the middle east. they have been killing each other for over 3000 years. when will it ever end?
