What men do?

The leaders of this government must be held responsible.

What men do?

                      "  Mothers should negotiate between nations.
                        The mothers of fighting countries would agree.
                        Stop the killing.
                        Stop it now.

                                  Yoshikuni Taki "



Misguided and no conscious leaders.


Retaliate and on rampage of the ritual of war.


Manifest demons and hidden ghosts.

We the people.
Mirage and intoxicate by liar tales.


Investment in steel and gas.

More precious then the innocent in the way of the gun.

Deceitful men.

Smile when talk of torture like common part of war.


Men do shameful things.


No excuse for torture in war or peace.


The horrid of war should leave us weak.


Sacrifice of people and cities is acceptable?


Are we shackles and blinded?


We have Iranians, Iraq and Koreans people living in the USA.


Just men and woman trying to exist in the craziness.


Now internal problem in the world.


In Iran killing men and woman demonstrating.


Being killed for their view and wanting change.


No sanity anywhere.


We live in a world.


Where human shields are necessary in Palestine.


Africa need aid of food and medicine.


Interference and humanitarian are necessary.


Need to quit selling guns to rabid leaders.


Time to cry out.
Enought of the useless bloodshed.
Gather the leaders of this world.
Create a plan and do it.


Soldiers are killing for leaders.
Who are
Impotent and hostile toward peace.
Inflamed with hate.
Blinded with self goals.


What can we do?


Doing nothing is not the answer.
Being intrenched and malinger in a cave.


We may wake up one morning.
Your child will ask you.



What happen?


Call your Congressman and Senator.
E-mail the president.
Create friendship with other people in other countries.


What men do?


For deceitful and cold-hearted men.
Must stop.


Just and human leaders are needed.

Humble and sensible men are needed.

Pray for peace.

Pray for freedom.

Pray our children can have a fair chance.



Pray the Wars and hate can fade away to children
scary stories.

What a time for me to go back and find one of yours I had not read. This, and our coming election with two running that makes me afraid for America's future more than ever. Valentine

I agree. We are in trouble. Both want war. I wonder would they send their kids to the mouth of battle?

"I dream of giving birth to a child who will ask 'Mommy what was war?'." There's no greater propponet for peace than one who's lost someone to war.

My cousin is in Afghanistan right now. Its his 4th tour since 2003. Ive been lucky that it hasnt been more but at the same time if we had these mothers and grandmothers running the countries like they run their families generation after generation then we would have the problems of the world today

[Cheyenne]

This is a touching piece. Our world is this hateful place where almost everyone hs something against someone. It needs to change.

[Kena Dawn Augustine]

Very deep and political, and yet a humanitarian poem. Definitely see this coming from your heart. So great, I could never craft a poem about this topic as well as you. I like how you hit home with the idea of children. And how we need to protect them against this brutality. Thanks for your strong words and peace that flows out of wanting a better utopia and less war and hatred.
