The Circle of Power

The Circle of Power

A Poem by Kenneth Lopez
"

My opinion......:)

"

When will we rise?

This worlds far from ever achieving this goal
The past is forgotten the future unknown
Mistakes never learned, for the past is our foe
We keep with the wars and religion its symbol
And though it has feats, the facts swim in limbo
Political figures most twisted to kill
Another addiction of power it fills
These, three of the four that make up our world
The fourth being love but rare as a pearl
Love for our land and love for our god
Love for our lives and those often lost
Love for the laws that govern our hand
Though sometimes its flawed its modern to man

Religion the power with more then one face
Casting the governing to fill in one space
In one hand a gift in the other a bomb
One hand as a fist and the other a palm
One fights for a god and the other for peace
Both speak and preach with the mark of the beast
Bending the rules for the sake of beliefs
Defending the schools on the wrong core to teach
Spending on tools that create wars on lease
Extending the pool to the unholy priests
Entwining  with…

…The power of war that has more then one outcome
While poor countries cease you see rich countries outdone
War being waged for the unseen provider of…
Chaos, hope and to some a divider
A time of lost minds lost loves and lost souls
Lost time we will find well above what we sow
Lost time to progress to refine what was past
Lost time to express to define the right path
This power brings death to the world as a whole
Destroying the fabric of living twofold
Entwining with…

…The power of politics inconsistent in form
Often shifting choices to retract or reform
Twisting the lives of the many who follow
Persistent with lies often words later hollow
Leaders and tyrants all hungry for power
Content to watch us take our lives by the hour
Provoking the views of others who lead
Invoking on tragedy to make humans bleed
Enlightening and eloquent they act to succeed
Some honest and truthful and others seek greed
Seek power and pride in what they’ve accomplished
Disgusting the bribes they seek out with accomplice
To the pastors or priests who preach hate to the willing
To the lobbyist and thieves who breach laws for the killing
Entwining forever…

But love stays its course…
A power forever evolving but always on track
Love is the neutral and what the rest lack
Love is the shield to the coming attack
Love is the movement when one can’t react
Love is the portal when ones often trapped
There’s no love in religion, war or politics
One and the same are those words
One brings peace and control but provokes war
One brings war and chaos but invokes peace
One brings no control of war and peace

My opinion is that your so right. The world is very twisted but by whom? We can't really point feelings we are our still setting back and writing. Not talking about you but I think you might get what I mean.
I think each of the paragrah could stand along and still so very powerful, thank you

Much love n respect,
Anna
I have to say, for an opinion it sure the hell was a freaking amazing, power and sad one!
