War

Published by zona_seljouk in category Poetry with tag blood | eyes | power | war

The raven soared great heights;

to watch people die and scream.

The barbaric voices thundered across the sky;

the crucifix could no longer save the people of this city!

 

It watched a bomb displaced onto a church.

Glass shattered,lives forgone,holy water spilled.

The innocent green eyes located the raven;

the eyes which had stories to tell,shuttered close.

 

It soared great heights;

to watch humanity die in the struggle of power.

It’s feathers glided along with the wind currents;

to watch God leave humans on their own.

 

The world turned to violence and abandoned love;

as the sun set behind the trees.

This realm feigned out the importance of well being,

only to fall prey to Satan and his doings.

 

Black as its feathers,were the sins of humanity.

Light as its feathers,was the veracity of humanity.

Sharp as its beak, was the deception created by humanity.

Deadly as its claws,was the existence of humanity.

 

No god send came their way!

Some shrieked,some shouted in pain,

some happy, some thinking this was of God’s way of doing things –

oh!Just the average human day.

 

For some it was an average day indeed.

Head bowed and eyes plastered on the screen,

so easy was it to watch people die through a screen.

With sorrowful eyes and pity in their hearts;they turned to slumber.

 

Deafening voices soon turned to dust,

as the influence was brought down by power and wealth.

The raven settled on a pile of ash and blood.

Wanted lives thrown back into the mud.

 

How did this world end up in such a haste?

To bring about madness all you need is a little push.

The forsaken and downtrodden will soon rise,

throwing away the wealthy lives;just the same.

 

The blacks,brown with charcoal eyes,

or whites with black souls and gleaming eyes

eat away on humanity, a disgrace!

All the same,with the color black in their worlds.

–END–
