[hometext] => This poem speaks for itself and reflects the country in which we live in today, enjoy:
[bodytext] => Endless War “Run!” I remember mother yelling with a raspy voice “Mom!” I called after her, but the war absorbed all the noise If I were to run, where would I run to? For I was stuck in a pathetic battle A bloody battle taking away innocent lives while enemies feeling rattled Followed by pleading cries while frightful things were being done Such world created by allowing a simple man to handle a gun Children hurting, clueless of what has consumed their homes There is no shelter except ruins, lost memories, ashes and stones People with open arms but nothing to grasp Dead or alive what’s hunting us are decisions made in the past Now mother has become ashes while flames quickly extend I see desperate people stumbling upon each other hoping everything will soon end Why? I ask myself as tears form in my tired eyes Tired eyes that had seen death choke helpless people’s cries The reason for war may be a mystery, for peace was once known in this land Were everyone cherished their living and everyone extended a hand Now all of that is over as I return to this horrible scene I look down then turn around just to bump into the same dreadful mean Yet I’m not the only one wanting to wake up from this suffocating nightmare For there are teens from my same generation whom’s eyes reflect my same “fight-stare” Ignorance once took over, we shall not let this happen ever again Let’s listen and be heard, start out fresh and begin We must hesitate no longer, and rebel for what is right End this war we stated and fix this sickening sight Let fear not conquer us, instead let us take a chance For we can not explore the 4 oceans if afraid of touching the shore sands Let this endless war finally conclude...

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
