War of Words

It is ineffective
to wage a war using words
as there is no bloodshed
no defining moment
when the death blow
has been dealt
and the victor stands tall
over the fallen
for we live in a deaf society
too few ears
to respond to the cries
of those being trod upon
a thoughtless society
too many minds
tire from the exertion
of finding a peaceful solution
a mute society
too many vocabularies
are lacking the simplest of words
“I’m sorry”
rather
we act out
at the speed of a laser
yes
these are the times of new
when the pen
is no longer mightier
than the sword.

This is very very good - I disagree with your assessment it is lacking...the poem flows very well and leaves the reader with a sense of longing..perhaps that is what you felt as well even though you wrote it.

Much enjoyed.

Excellent seraphin.

"too many vocabularies
are lacking the simplest of words
“I’m sorry”"

I love theses lines. There is also another part to this those who feel that the inclusion of those words in their vocabulary is license to run roughshod over any one and everything.

I poem that really makes you think.

"The world won't end in darkness, it'll end in family fun
With Coca Cola clouds behind a Big Mac sun."

You gave me much to ponder with this. *S* However... as someone of little action and too many words... I hope the pen can reclaim its power. *S*

The power is still at hand, I think it may well be to few hands are willing to wield the power.

Thank you, always, for your time and thoughts.
