The End, My Friend? I wonder what it is like To lay on the frozen ground Or. In some stairway between floors Hoping, I might be found. What’s it like to feel a bullet Tearing, through flesh and bone Or, parts of bodies, being found From what person, never known. “War and Peace”, a famous book But, those words, just mean the same While, during both, we don’t quit How, we love to kill and maim. Planes flown into the “Towers” Or bomb, Iraq/Afghanistan Children killed and people starving Because, of the “good” of Man?? The only scourge upon this Earth That, never, ever, will be cured Those ten commandments will be told But, somehow, they’re never heard. We make excuses for ourselves Try to believe, we’re doing right As we hate our fellowman And buy more arms for, some fight. We hold the “good book” in one hand While in the other, there’s a gun If, not really in our own hand We cock the trigger, with our thumb. With our silence and indifference We all will commit a murder We can’t take the Fifth Amendment Because, it’s our fault, for sure! The homeless, living on the street Or all those starving, on this Earth Are, the fault, of each one of us No matter what, we think, our worth. One thing, to stop this insanity Is right here, in the human mind As we make others, go extinct We’ll be the end, to humankind!!! Del “Abe” Jones 09.06.2011 Del "Abe" Jones |

Dear Del-Abe, your words express truth! How far behind we are in evolution! It's all about learning to love and respect each other and the Earth. To witness what men have done and still do to each other, all the misery, the injustice, the rivalry that cause inhuman acts, sometimes it is really too much to bear ... It begins with us, just here within our hearts ... as Gandhi said WE MUST LOVE THE WORLD INTO CHANGE. And it is not a light challenge! When we can't even love really our family members, our neighbour, how will we ever be able to love humanity? IT BEGINS WITH US. Thank you for this mighty thought provoking poetic piece. The law of love is simple, the ways to make it our own is bumpy. We must learn to see with the heart. Only in emergencies we awake to love. We should transform every day in an emergency day, emergency of love. Thank you! Love, Margherita |

"The homeless, living on the street Or all those starving, on this Earth Are, the fault, of each one of us No matter what, we think, our worth." Sobering thought. Nice write Abe.
