Because of power hungry leaders
In this world we are truly blind
Corrupt by under the table cheaters

Take our children
The blood of this nation
Into soldiers turn our friends
Slowly destroy your own creation

Run, crouch, run, crouch
Mindless freedom drone
Shoot, shoot, load, shoot
You're never going home

In this world we are clueless
Dormant lie great forces
In this world we live careless
Fighting for natural resources

How many more must parish?
Our children feed your greed
While you sit back and relish
Our children fulfill your dirty deed

Run, crouch, run, crouch
Mindless freedom drone
Shoot, shoot, load, shoot
In this world you're a long way from home [comments] => 1 [counter] => 199 [topic] => 57 [informant] => never_give_in [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => war )

In This World

Contributed by never_give_in on Friday, 13th April 2007 @ 09:55:30 AM in AEST
Topic: war

In this world our children die
Because of power hungry leaders
In this world we are truly blind
Corrupt by under the table cheaters

Take our children
The blood of this nation
Into soldiers turn our friends
Slowly destroy your own creation

Run, crouch, run, crouch
Mindless freedom drone
Shoot, shoot, load, shoot
You're never going home

In this world we are clueless
Dormant lie great forces
In this world we live careless
Fighting for natural resources

How many more must parish?
Our children feed your greed
While you sit back and relish
Our children fulfill your dirty deed

Run, crouch, run, crouch
Mindless freedom drone
Shoot, shoot, load, shoot
In this world you're a long way from home

Wow, this poem is really, really good. I'm being completely honest, I'd say this is one of my favorites I have ever read on this site. Your message is so clear and so well supported. Its not justified to critcize the soldiers who fight, but you didnt do that. You criticize the reasons for making them fight, which often are the wrong reasons and the soldiers end up fighting for what you said "corrupt under the table cheaters". Once again, awesome job.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time.

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. ©
