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?

Oh this is wonderful love! A potent reminder just how much war is murder!
Those who think they are saving the future for people whilst so many die, are misled!
Powerful hon!

What an ideal thought, to be free becasue that is the way of things rather than a right to fight for, a well thought out piece.

[Sahar moonlight]

This was absolutely so meaningfull poem. A word inviting to peace against bloody war.
Really good one.

N.B. : Is it possible that you indent between the first line and the photo? As at begining it appeared to methat the poem started by the word 'sea' by missing the words on the right side of the photo. Thanks!

I completely agree with the author's note and this poem is so very true in this cold world we call our home. This is definitely thought provoking

I like the format and style of these two poems. The topic is a tough and emotional one. It would have been nice to see you use more word play with the details, but I like it none the less.

whew I managed to hold it together til the last line hit me hard "Peace and forgiveness are forgotten words" wow just amazing. This poem will stay with me for a long while. I to have the same concern. I take the path of peace and forgiveness but some view that as weakness I hold it as a great strength and one of my best qualities. My family are always telling to stop letting people walk all over me but I cant help it when I see someone who needs help I help them and if they take advantage of me well thats on them Im a strong person I just have no room in my heart for hate and anger like Anne Frank said "I still believe in spite of everything that people are truly good at heart"

gosh you got me all emotional now lol

you blew me away with this write
