Array ( [sid] => 2337 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => The seeds of the end. [time] => 2002-08-15 21:03:35 [hometext] => [bodytext] => THE SEEDS OF THE END (Peter Sprenkeler)

The tragedy of war - I’ll continue to lament,
We all stand in legions - our protests sent.
But yet it goes on - as lives are spent,
In droves they die - nations are rent.

Truth lies in the ashes - hatred now law,
The worst of human emotion has come to the fore.
Decency lies bleeding from every pore,
Compassion and tolerance - both dead on the floor.

Bloodied and battered - integrity now gone,
As our soils drink blood as we hopelessly look on.
Conscience too has now vanished from:
The corpse strewn fields in the Valley Of Anon.

Misery and pain on a massive scale,
Horror and destruction - an endless tale.
No one is spared, not the young not the frail,
As the forces of evil relentlessly assail.

Inevitable? You ask, I suppose it may be so,
Could it all end - the world in a nuclear glow?
Food for thought - as the seeds of the end we sow,
Just as well God forgives - as off to Him we go.

THE SEEDS OF THE END (Peter Sprenkeler)

The tragedy of war - I’ll continue to lament,
We all stand in legions - our protests sent.
But yet it goes on - as lives are spent,
In droves they die - nations are rent.

Truth lies in the ashes - hatred now law,
The worst of human emotion has come to the fore.
Decency lies bleeding from every pore,
Compassion and tolerance - both dead on the floor.

Bloodied and battered - integrity now gone,
As our soils drink blood as we hopelessly look on.
Conscience too has now vanished from:
The corpse strewn fields in the Valley Of Anon.

Misery and pain on a massive scale,
Horror and destruction - an endless tale.
No one is spared, not the young not the frail,
As the forces of evil relentlessly assail.

Inevitable? You ask, I suppose it may be so,
Could it all end - the world in a nuclear glow?
Food for thought - as the seeds of the end we sow,
Just as well God forgives - as off to Him we go.

excellant poem...too frightening to think how it may end.

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. Â©
