Killer, Oh Killer!

A rant directed at terriorists.

There are some people, they site religion,

As an excuse for their behavior.

Like a reading from a book,

Citing prompting by their savior.


Wake up, wake up!

You ignorant fools,

We are ALL held captive for a while.

It's time to wake up, wake up!

Instructed intentions are so vile.


Wake up, wake up!

Are you a sheep?

You are led easily by the hand.

You choose not to listen to you own heart.

Instead you follows others commands.


You act out for attention,

'Hey media look at me!

I will kill this innocent man

For the whole world to see.'



You think not of this mans background,

For his beliefs or his family.

You will kill him with the vehemence,

Citing your religion 'oh so' candidly.



Killer you are but fool,

With no vision to see,

You can go on and keep killing,

But it is your own self you flee.



You are demanding your penance for,

Atrocities where others have befallen.

All while not learning the lessons,

Our sweet universe is calling.



Killer, the veils that consume you,

Do not allow you clear thought.

It is not through causing others pain -

To have the love of your god be bought.



You blindly listen to others telling,

Just what it means to live.

STOP! NOW!

LISTEN TO YOU.

Your soul has only love to give.


Can you not see the ordinary people,

We choose no harm or grief.

We each seek our own happiness,

We all have our own beliefs.



Each has our own background,

We all see life through unique eyes

None of us have got it right,

But, TOGETHER we must try.



Killer! Don't cut short our chance.

Just to breathe new breath each day.

It is you who needs to learn acceptance,

It's you who needs to find your way.



I say you are a weak man.

Destroying others lives.

Yes weak, you are - you follow,

Follow, those who choose to hide.



If only you could understand,

You are merely a throwaway tool.

You do work for others,

Who know you are but a fool.



You are just a foot soldier,

Helping evil to reign.

When you are dead,

They will find others to do their work again.



Why not try to be silent,

Still your mind and listen to you.

Killer, oh Killer -

You have the strength to know what is true.



Your liberation won't be gained,

By acting your given part.

It's your true self you must find,

You still have time to start.



Compassion and mercy

For humans shall never be found,

So long as you keep killing,

Demanding a pound for a pound.



We can only move forward -

Collectively as a race,

Let the past dissolve,

Let us remove the hate.



Our gods they are a begging ....

For all of us to catch up again.

For we are not learning the simple lessons,

Not allowing our consciousness to change.



No! There are no shortcuts,

To finding our way back to life as one.

We must work in unity,

There's lots of work to be done.



Killer! drop the ego,

Come play in the light.

You still have so much time,

To choose the right fight to fight.



I choose to take no side,

From one battle to another.

The only battle I have,

Is to make life itself my lover.


We must ask ourselves of our judgements.

We all must question our true intention.

We must strip away at what we know,

To know its love that deserves attention.


No! It won't be easy.

We all have much learning to do,

I will welcome you with open arms,

If you choose the fight for UNITY too.


Eternity is ours,

It's worth the fight.

Together is the only way.

Together .... That's our plight.

Sadly that seems all we read about in our newspapers any mote. Just how much is one life worth. Heck they may be blowing away another Einstein. Valentine

oh man! your passionate heart is forthright throughout ... to be radicalized from very young ages doesn't allow much room for disputation of ideas ... nor is there much of a place when self radicalized men and women make a plan .. i think they are pretty well going to take the action at that point .. but words and ideas are the real battle ground aren't they?! so sad you posted this 2 yrs ago and it is even more important today as horrific barbarism is being displayed and played out every single day ..men women and children crucified, burned alive, drown in cages, beheaded or shot in number and bulldozed in mass graves ... so much seething hate attempts to destroy archaeology thousands of years old in vain attempts to dishearten even more ... wow! .. i am sorry to say i don't think they will ever stop until they are dead :(

This was worth it. Every line, every word strikes the strings of logical thinking. An amazing write. :D

[KWP]

thank you Parimal for reading ... yes sometimes I get so angry with those who act upon the will of others and perhaps not their own ... but what to do ? x x

[Frieda P]

A powerful punch here against organized religious zealots...intentions are not always noble and following the herd leaves no room for kindness and humanity, truth and humility. Being uncompromising and following some other's ideals is not freedom in the least.... Well said!

[KWP]

Thanks for reading noodlehead .... I have to wonder why 'Noodlehead' ?

[s y e]

My hair used to be very curly so a nickname for me was noodlehead, hahaha. xoxo

Mahn. Do you have some grudge against short poems?
Kidding, it's really good.
An eye opener, indeed. (:

[KWP]

i know right .... I have much to say ... if I have the attention I will try and keep the spotlight on me .... hahahaha ... kidding .... I have been told before to make my poems shorter :) ... thanks for hiking all the way to the end xx

[Simran Kewlani]

Haha. You're welcome. xx

This is a very good poem, it really helps me understand a little more why 'Silence' is important. I have heard about the perfection of silence, though never thought it would be something vital. This poem has opened my eyes a little wider. Thank you :)
