PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

it's a poverty of dignity



that drives men to angry means



assumption of another's evil wrong doings



perpetuates the hiding of his very own



violent themes



such hatred and distrust among such ancient history



should never have



been permitted to be



but sin is an indiscriminate father



harvester of the radically obscene



the cries of help are so difficult to hear



over the shouts of IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT and



GO AWAY! WE DON'T WANT YOU HERE!



where the lines were ten times drawn



now only deaths and more deaths



are being sought



an ill wind is brewing



no rifle or bomb



can remove it of its intended path



stubbornness is a stick gouging out the eye



of every last bloody retort



there can be no turning now of one's back



such lovely  pledges have been made



from  venomous mouths that spit rage



even as they smile for the masses watching



a catastrophic end is weaving its own force



through the world from Jerusalem to Jericho



from the West Bank to even as far as the streets



of Karachi



Jews and Arabs locked in so much history and



past interference



that their futures seem stolen even



before they are  fully envisioned



peace now it seems is all but an abortable prize



left on the door step of America



for the darkness to trample



and the mounting fears  



from within



to rival..............
