Array ( [sid] => 39798 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => War. [time] => 2004-03-22 17:42:45 [hometext] => I wrote this when the stuff in Afgahanistan was going on. [bodytext] => War.
What safeness do we have if a world crumbles before our eyes?
Guns fire, civilization expires.
What has brought us to destory our fellow being?
How many lives will be taken?
Innocent or not, its all the same.
I believe...our whole humanity
Is destroying itself piece by piece,
We are our own disease.
How much apathy and anguish will be discarded throughtout the world?
It's a question of ethic's
What conflict ever made do of good?
The innocence of people taken forgranted,thrown away,
What more can they offer accept their lives.
Is it not enough to persude a plea of safety?
Do we all have to suffer to achieve your happiness?
What phases you?
How about the death...?
Children,little kids,..even babies
Raped of their privilage to live.
Innocent sould,ripped apart by the pain.
Or what about the blood..?
Constant gunfire murders the weak,
Slaughters the poor.
Why are we so catergorized?
Weak..poor..wealthy..strong..
Would it make a difference if we all were suffering?
It seems not even loss of life,
Can phase war.
When I see...was on the television,on the news
Sometimes it just makes me wanna scream!
The death,its disgusting how we could treat each other like that.
Take even the smallest of lives forgranted
As if they never had a purpose in life anyway.
Why is the world so complex?
Distorted,reapproached.
The beginning for some,
The end for most.
What happiness does conflict bring?
I could see extinction in the human race
If we continue to brawl
As if our tears were meaningless...
Silently,even the most innocent
Wither away,give in to the depression,in to the hurt.
I just want to get away,
Help the less fourtunate,those in pain.
Stop the battle,end the hate.
Begin a new era..
Of safer living.
When there's no fear of being killed everyday
Where bombs are outlawed
And even mentioning them is punishable by law.
But unfourtunately, the world is helpless
And now nothing can stop the war.
Leaders so obsessed with owning everything
They don't realize how many people are put in harms way.
Catastrophe,spells out the ongoing problems.
And now our earth is wounded like a fallen dove
And now,sinks lower and lower into oblivion
Further and further it falls.
Sooner or later it will be like as if it was never there.
As if we never existed to begin with
Just another lost civilization
Drowned by our own selfishness.
The motive is..
Bombings don't justify bombings,
Death will not justify death.
Death itself justifies nothing,
Nothing will come of it.
Our own government
Supports the pain.
As if societies addictions
Are injected into every one of their veins.
War is the beginning of

Desolation,death the days are cold and sorrowful.
Everlasting mistake;we crumble,fall apart.
Security of our own homes is now at risk.
Thief!The pain steals our only hope.
Realist.Think what good does this cause?
Understand that we are tearing each other apart.
Chemical warfare,poisons us and our mother earth.
Tormenting us,driving sanity away.
I just want to get away.
Only if it were that simple.
Never take forgranted even the smallest of things.


War.

I love the poem. Poems like this prove words are more powerful than guns.
