We The People

what have we made of ourselves...

We raped her.
One by one
all of us.
She was crying..
Screaming...
Praying.
She was bleeding tears,
and we were laughing.
Now she's dead.
We've killed her.
- HUMANITY -
She's no more.

I heard her screams
but I didn't move,
cuz I was told - We are right!

We.
Who are we?
What are we?

I'm lost in this mob.

I see people fighting.
I see people crying.
I see people blaming.
I see people dying.

I've heard of Heaven and Hell.
I've heard of God.
I've heard of different beliefs.
I've heard of love.
Uh.. I've heard of all these myths...
Word of God; said by humans.
Books of God; written by humans.
God; made by humans.

I don't see God.
I don't see love.
I don't see respect.
I don't see humanity.
But. . .
I see deaths.
I see hatred.
I see people dying for myths.
I see people love these myths, more than God.
I see discrimination.
I see disgust.
I see burned churches.
I see destroyed mosques.
I see smashed temples.
I see borders, stretched in the hearts, where love could never trespass.
I see the end.
And...
I see excuses.
Vague reasons.

We are no humans.
We are mere Colours.
We are Christians, Muslims, Hindus etc.. etc...
But we are no humans.

We have our own Gods, own beliefs, own lives... Everything.
But it's not enough.
Even it is not enough.
We want more.
We are hungry.

We the (DASH) People!

Author's Note

I've not written it for reviews but to share my feelings. So please please please if you feel anything that relates to some sort of sadness.. Then please try to make a little change in yourselves. Use your heart. Contribute your smiles to save humanity. What you've been giving to this world is greatly appreciated but all I ask for One Extra Smile. We are human before anything else. Accept it.
There's never a wrong time to do the right thing. I beg you all. . . Please love.
Try to spread this feeling of love in your daily lives.. It would heal the wound..Or at least won't make it worse.
It's a request, do anything.. Anything that you are capable of to spread love around you. It's in dire need. Every smile would count. We need love.
And if you cannot do anything, then please don't do anything. Kindly don't make the condition worse.
Thank you.

~~~
To all who believe everything is not lost, yes everything is not. But do we need to wait, till we lose everything? No. Certainly not.
You may think I'm only focussed on one side of the story.. So let me confirm that, yes, I am; because that's the side which needs to be taken care of.
Love. Laugh. Live.

Thank you for sending this to me... I have written a poem called America Is Crying, would like you to read it. Debileah

[Creepy Swine Guy]

Your poem was powerful. It brought to mind words that I have always held close to heart ...

"But this much is clear, Violence breeds violence, repression breeds retaliation, and only a cleansing of our whole society can remove this sickness from our souls. For when you teach a man to hate and to fear his brother, when you teach that he is a lesser man because of his color, or his beliefs or the policies that he pursues, when you teach that those who differ from you, threaten your freedom or your job or your home or your family, then you also learn to confront others not as fellow citizens, but as enemies. To be met not with co operation but with conquest, to be subjugated, and to be mastered. We learn at the last to look at our brothers as aliens. Alien men with whom we share a city, but not a community. Men bound to us in common dwelling, but not in a common effort. We learn to share only a common fear, only a common desire to retreat from each other, only a common impulse to meet disagreement with force. Our lives on this planet are too short, the work to be done is too great. But we can perhaps remember, that those who live with us are our brothers, that they share with us the same short moment of life that they seek as do we, nothing but the chance to live out their lives in purpose and in happiness, surely this bond of common fate, this bond of common roles can begin to teach us something, that we can begin to work a little harder, to become in our hearts brothers and countrymen once again."
--- Robert F. Kennedy ---

Most of this is true but some of it in my opinion is not. There is still humanity out there and we see tiny bits and pieces of it each day but we fail to take notice of it because we are surrounded by so much hate and greed. The news media of today is so biased and they choose only to share with the world stories of war, strife, famine, murder, economic crisis, none of which will help foster the belief in humanity. There is still hope, there is still love and there is still humanity in the world you just have to look closer to find it.

well gee that was deep but love is here too everything good is not gone it is just waiting for us to take hold and learn by our mistake's we are like caterpillar's in a cocoon there is a season for everything even sin
but god is not through molding up into what we will evolve into when a butterfly hatches it makes a mess and doesn't look so good and is a nasty mess but by the time it is done is is a beautiful butterfly!!!! you did a wonderful job writing this i am sure before it's over you will probably write a book about it all the good and the bad!!! god bless and happy holiday's.hugs
