Stop warring


Sometimes I wonder why violence,
in a world of beauty, is extreme.

Why people are displaced
by a famine or flood
without proper information
to protect
what historically is known?

Why man made creative, thoughtful ideas
are put to a devastatingly violent, abusive scene,
where warring mentality is not viewed as obscene?

I consider my behaviour
and wonder why
humility, humanity and compassion
regularly die.

Inwardly aware, I know experientially,
goodness and care, acceptance,
tolerance and fair.
But however much I subject myself
to levels of unacceptable behaviour
that of a kind voice of forgiveness,
fairness and learning admonishes
and advises in how to choose from then on…

Long lost friends


Long lost friends are gone forever more
and we the few lay vacant
as to how to survive.

The weather bleak.
The waves un-rested from the storm
and we here sit and wonder why and how
the world became so ugly and left its mark,
the dawn of time no more.

What is it about us as man
that left the idle rich rule the land?
What type of adventurous soul
left that mark and soil
to ruin him to sustain for all?

What type of genius
thought of GMO as a way to go?
What type of idiot
framed the world as one
and called it a game?

The horrifying thought
that nuclear war was a way to go
made me think
whatever was I a part to play
to let the world, once formidable and grand
to wretched and vile on every soil
stench with that of war and decay?

The valley of death


Take me away from the excesses of war
that starve my human potential.

Give to me a world away from the violence
portrayed on every nation.
Give to me the valley of gold
that enriches the beauty
I have and hold within.

Love that life.
Gift that joy
with more of the peace-filled harmony
that guides and protects.

And no longer subject me to the hate
of those who perpetrate such crimes.
Criminals of every kind.

No humour in my life but pain
to see such vile portrayal
of disgusting behaviour

Treating the world differently


Who are you out there in the West.
Wild West it appears
with all this hum drum and financially rooted affair.
Wild West is an outwardly focussed dream.

Conquer the natives prepare the ground
decide what to work at and finalise the plan.
Leave the country rooted in despair.
Look for another form of vigilante brigade
and off to war we go.

So settled in the war mongering
we have no alternative but agree.
For we are futile members of a whole humanity.

No one cares to notice


Not now my darling
the sky is falling fast.
Mountain tops eroding
the mining trade a-blast.

No one cares to notice
crime an everyday occurrence.
Play time for children – parking
inside some mind altering gadget
or machine.

No time for caring, sharing
or empathy at all.
The soldiers bathe in glory
no matter the quandary
child or man, woman or babe.

Matters not the kill, the damage
all part of that elite military thrill.
I suspect an atom will fall upon us soon.

Nuclear damage – well evidence of health
already a witness, but third world
so no need to hurry, plenty of spending yet
still for twenty-first century idleness
and greedy mentalities.
No place yet, but oh too soon.
