That Night

That Night

A Poem by BK

That night
I stared at the silent stars
and saw my world unfold around me
death and destruction all it was
speeding cars whizzing past
scattered limbs, broken hearts
a thousand screams rent the air
I looked around for a sign of peace
a loud explosion greets me there
burning houses , crying children
blood-smeared hands murderous eyes
victory for one death for the other
man  kills man in the name of war
man  kills man in the name of god
this is the world we've made for ourselves

this is the world we've made for our children..

While I'm not a big fan of the message sent here, I hate that it's all true. What kind of world are we building for us, all of us, whom have such wonderful potential to do great things? Great things are not always discovered in ruthless power. Instead, what would happen if we found great things in understanding, in loving the natural beauty of our world?

Still, this is great.
