![]() Civil WarA Poem by butterfly
It seems there is a civil war we always have to fight
Between presidents and civilians
Democrats and Republicans Black and White Illegal immigrants What is the right side of the line? When will the people of power see that life needs to be lived? There is still more we can give More than money, more then material needs Yet we all need shelter from this bad weather We need a foundation that can last forever Truth it was built wrong from day one here in America When we refused to complement the primary natives Instead the first ones captured people for slaves Got in bed with all the females Many children left for dead They say its just part of war in the end It seems there is a better way Yet we refuse to face The unknown peace waiting for our embrace It seems there are many battles still left to be won Now the war is transformed between enemies like PTSD and other mental disease, and the gun Husbands killing own wife and children School kids dying from bullets that glisten While running off to have an affair with his mistress Women assaulted as they jog only to be found in the cornfields Humans are succumbing easier to all the weakness I am no different and in the end the war is once again transformed Two different enemies stand facing each other in the storm Angel and demon God and Devil Good and evil A civil war that was behind the scenes all along Sometimes its out of our hands Bigger things make the commands Its not always easy to understand As I sit and watch our love drown in the quicksand We used to be in love, we used to be stronger in the storm Slowly we faded away in the civil war. © 2018 butterfly |
