World Of Sorrow Part 2

Night becomes day, and day becomes night

As they hide in fear of the raging fight

Through the heartless bullets and fiery rain

Through sadness, sorrow and dark disdain

In a small cold cellar, they wait alone

Praying that their family all made it home

'Cause you like the war, you do, you do

'Cause all it brings are freaking profits for you

Paid with the blood of innocent ones

Sold with the lives that have been brought undone

As they watch their gardens, once beautiful, now gone

Surrounded in fire, driven from where they belonged

And you're just laughing it all away

Saying, "You'll just rebuild it all someday!"

But you're stupid, you're dumb, you never knew what it feels

Never knowing where or when you'll get your next meal

Never having to struggle just to make ends meet

Never having to watch the world from the side of the street

Ignorance is bliss, 'cause it's your middle name

Hypocrisy too is your own little game

Don't you realize how many people suffer out there?

But no you f*****g don't, 'cause you just don't care

So we don't want to hear your crap, your forsaken words

The broken promises that all of us have heard

Put your money where your mouth is, if you've got the guts

For all the people who still live in broken huts

For the ones you rendered just null and void

For the ones you just watched as they were destroyed

Another voice

Another soul

Lost in the bitter darkness

A world of sorrow

Another song

As it unfolds

Holds their prayers for happiness

For a better tomorrow

To you money's everything, profits all you see

And your f*****g attitude sickens you and me

You can't hide the blood on your hands anymore

Just watch as we start to kick down the freaking door

And watch as your world spirals, crashing down

You don't know you're falling till you hit the ground

Sorry if it's a little long...
And sorry if you found this harsh...

[Huggy Bear]

This is a great follow-up to your previous poem.

[Randolf Ramos]

This is significant in our time! War exploits humanity in many ways, to make profits but for a justified reason to wage war. The only affected is humanity and its lives? Is there anybody there who care for life?

A single life is important.
For example, Einstein is living in afghanistan, we nver knew his importance then if he got killed in a battle. how could he change the world with his genius?

From him, we got TV, Lasers, Atomic bomb, and countless inventions that sprung from his genius!
EVery life is important!

Keep on writing
I got to learn lessons from you!

More pointed than Part One and looks more like a rant to me for some reason (not that ranting is bad). A follow up question would be: Is terrorism really made in the USA?

[Nicaushio Yamaki]

very good.

[Dark Lady Phoenix]

War is a harsh thing. But not all war is about money. I can't help but think about the woman that are now free to live there life's because of the wars we have had. And let us not for get this started because someone flew in too two towers in New York and killed a lot of people who did not do anything wrong.

[NoneOfYourBusiness akaK..]

incredibly astute observations spun through a captivating poem~ has the flavor of an almost mythic cautionary tale~ hard to believe sometimes that human beings are capable of the atrocities they commit one against the other~ another powerful write!~

[Coyote Poetry]

War don't have no conscious. The poor people in the countries pay the price of hate and profit for big business. Your words are powerful and true. I don't understand how the leaders of this world don't see the damage done to the earth and the people caused by war for oil. A outstanding poem. Thank you.

That's a nice one! That's not long,
and you can even add both parts together!

[JENY]

Each line carries with it repositories of truths…
Loved the way you constructed the entire pattern….
