Another repost from Poetry workshop... originally posted as poem #2 for the Augusta Exotica challenge... _________________________________________________________________________ Spread Love Not War Winner grabs it all, thus the wise old men say, And the loser is distraught, in gains of naught, Race after race fought, listlessly to this day, Submerged in a lusty tempest, hopelessly caught. Wasting fellow beings, lecherously taking lives, On the pretext of land, in the name of religion, Negating life's meaning, death's ghastly legion. . . . Worrisome stressed life in a concrete heaven, Aiming just to be holier than one's neighbour, Ravaging morality in a foolish greed's haven, Savagely biting at each other like wild boars. Landmines blasted to gather trophied possessions, Ominous facets lurk, sinful, replete with felony, Surrounding self with another's ill-gotten wealth, Time after time surviving a harming disharmony. . . . Wondering to myself, I end up in a struggle - Harassing asks of the why of man's vocations, Often ending estranged, in deranged vacations. Wisdom never manages to gain any solid basis - Oblique tangential waves from blood-fed hounds, Nectar of life remains, non-churned and unfound. . . . Wisecracks of today are armed with nuclear buttons, Hazardous to not just an army but an entire crowd, Obliterating souls in blanket of mushroomed shroud. Let us liberate ourselves from this deathward crawl, Ostracise ideas of this quite needless competition, Save our souls while we can from the ungainly brawls, To a better acceptable future, let's draw a petition. ? ? ? _________________________________________________________________________ Wars Won...Wars Lost...Who Won...Who Lost? |

Wonderful poetry opened up new sensations for me nothing like it, have i seen before damn good really, really, good over the moon, with it unbelievable simply fantastic "It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures; but it is the loss that shapes the image, gathers the flowers weaves the garland."- |

"Let us liberate ourselves from this deathward crawl, Ostracise ideas of this quite needless competition, Save our souls while we can from the ungainly brawls, To a better acceptable future, let's draw a petition." Sudhir, this is brilliant writing! I share, wholeheartedly, in your sober sentiments, my friend. ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |
