when guns are brought for show and tell.
Will we recognize heaven,
if we cannot see that war is hell?
We are born innocent,
but hatred of another's skin color
must be taught and driven like
a stake into the heart.
I don't understand this,
I peel an orange because
I was shown that what lies beneath
the skin is the sweetest part.

Innocence dies so young,
when guns are brought for show and tell.
Will we recognize heaven,
if we cannot see that war is hell?
We are born innocent,
but hatred of another's skin color
must be taught and driven like
a stake into the heart.
I don't understand this,
I peel an orange because
I was shown that what lies beneath
the skin is the sweetest part.

Very interesting and true. We are what we are taught. But you don't mention religion which has been the cause of more wars than anything else

A fascinating write. I'd value your opinion on my recent poem "I'm giving up on Gods"

I'm going down your list over the next week would you like to give me some you are particularly pleased with to start me off.

We need to realize this.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

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. ©
