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?

For me the most gripping statement is "Peace and forgiveness are forgotten words". They alone carry your story.. I too share your concern..xx

Your poem gives me an insight into your past....... its not difficult to fathom that you were a soldier..... U deserve to be appreciated both for your work and your poetry.....
P.S. I know your past must have been difficult.... you sure are brave...

[Star Wolf]

There' good and bad in the human heart but it always seems the bad outways the good in the majority of cases. Why is that, I can't help but wonder.

[Shadows of Memories]

Such concerns for race, country precisely the whole planet is now going lost. People are so busy with the vanity and infidelity be it in relationships or the reign. in your 2nd poem I loved few lines...it keeps on ringing in my ears "Angel of death dropping bombs"/" Hate grow like cancer". Such real thoughts are truly forgotten in the present world. Actually only few parts of the planet are focused and lime-lighted... the rest is suffering!!! loved the theme and thoughts that weaved here. A thumbs up

[Zeitgeist Manifesto]

It's amazing to me how people can continue to carry on grudges that have origins that have been long forgotten. Your paths to discovery teach in a lateral way. It is an experience.

[Arielle Ann]

this was a bit different from your styles (which I have read of course)...but its strong and powerful....it awakens the sleeping spirit...I loved your boldness and open heart in typing this out...thanks for the share!

[SoulCrusader (Yas)]

concerns shared 100%
seems to me very few truly nice people without any agenda
are to be found anywhere, we can hope for better...try individually...

[Life Is like Trust...It..]

I can tell you have a heart of care and hope. I enjoy every request you send me.
Thanks for all the help with my writing as well.

Told as only you can Coyote from the heart and with passion

[WhiteWillow]

Sobering reality. One feels powerless when coming to the realization of who is in power, and why. Flawed lives yearning for a flawless existence; a wonderful dream, so far out of reach. Wonderfully thought-provoking writes.
