Two poems

Many questions are raised if you listen. Don't be like the children in the old fairy tale following the pipe piper. Leading us to hell.

               







     







   The Violence Sea  
 
Anger erupt
The blind open their eyes.
 
Men on high horses.
Tells us more stories to blind us.
 
Entangled and enraged we try to see.
We can't see above the bullshit.
 
Rich men in big houses.
Tell us we are Ok and eating prime rib.
 
The bottom feeders eat beans and potatoes.
Wonder what the hell are we going to do?
 
                     Coyote
 
 
                          Forgiveness
 
The f-king blood drips from our flag.
Gun a-roaring attacking towns and villages.
 
The leaders tells us.
We are the saviors.
 
Saved a country.
Then we will rebuilt the country and make it better.
 
Israel attack neighbors.
World tell them to stop.
Stop the bombing and killing..
 
Like us. Being blessed give us the right to do what we please.
 
How can you forgive?
The Angel of death dropping bombs.
 
Killing woman and children.
Hate grow like cancer.
 
Peace and forgiveness are forgotten words.
 
                                 Coyote

Author's Note

I have great concern for this world. Freedom of speak need to be protected and men of peace must come. Before we pass a line in the sand where we cannot turn back from.

sometimes the 'fairy tale' is the only thing keeping me going, as well as, many others. Both powerful writes full of truth. How that truth hurts. Or is it lies upon lies that hurt; I'd say both. when does the bs end? only when all is destroyed for the betterment of what?

Short, sharp words that hit home the lessons which need to be learned by many. Everyone from governments to the "simplest" people (the bottom-feeders) should learn of what you speak.

I too have this disdain and intolerance for the way we act and treat our fellow man and woman, Coyote.
And though it all seems so easy to us....and it really should be, as long as there are zealots, dictators, misguided leaders, and monsters running the world, we will continue to shovel crap against the tide.
It is complicated, I'll give anyone that, but unless we begin talking to each other and working things out....I'm sorry to say, we as a species, have little hope or chance of survival. Believe me, and I'm sure you'l agree, it is not just the Israelis. At least the don't butcher, bomb, and gas their own people.
Powerful and thought provoking write, Coyote. As usual...
Ask the questions and try to find the answers...
Unfortunately, the line has been drawn and it HAS been crossed.

These poems show a side that we rarely see from the cryptic Coyote. Anger. It besuits your work.

We need to stop listening to the lies we are told and think for ourselves. Excellent pen on this.

[Moriarty]

Such raw emotion...simple yet very very powerful...very very nicely written...

[*~*Butterfly Kisses*~*]

With the first poem - easily understandable. It angers me that half our veterans don't even know their mission anymore. My brother was just called for an assignment and he doesnt know what he's going to be doing. All these policiticans can say "everything is alright, keep going with your lives" when I am sure I am not the only person that can see through their daily bullshit while I'm worried about a loved one and family member.

Second poem - we're not saviors. No one is. How dare anyone in this world claim to be so, even America. No country is innocent and say you are such makes you look foolish. The people in this world are starting to wake up and see right through everything. We're just too dependent on our daily lives to stand up and say anything.


Great write, Coyote. Forgive my rambling anger.

[Arabdha]

the irony of forgiveness is that even when you do,you hardly ever forget ! Intense..!
