From Heart To Heart (my poem collection)

WARS AND TRAGEDY.

A POUND OF FLESH, OR A DROP OF BLOOD?

WAS IT 'QUAKE? OR WAS IT FLOOD?

DEATH AND DESTRUCTION THE DEVILS CAUSED

WHILE TEARS WERE SHED

THE DEMONS APPLAUDED.

FOR WEALTH SOME BUILT,

FOR POWER SOME KILLED

WHILE SOME JUST STOOD AND WATCHED.

AND SOME NOBLE SOULS RISKED THEIR LIVES,

TO SAVE THE LIVES OF THOSE WHO WISHED TO LIVE

YET MANY FOREVER HAD TO LEAVE...

THE WORLD HAS COME TO A STANDSTILL,

THE ROOF ABOVE LOST!

THEIR DEAR ONES HAVE LEFT THEM,

NO CONDOLENCES COULD EVER RECOVER THEIR LOSS!

IF WE START TO BE THE CAUSE,

OF OUR BRETHREN'S DEATH,

ON EARTH WHOM SHALL WE TRUST?

HUMANITY IS FADING AWAY,

AND FAITH CRUMBLING DOWN TO CRUST.

----(extended)---

THIRSTY FOR BLOOD, ONLY CARING TO MAKE MONEY,

WHEN POLITICS REPLACE ETHICS,

WHERE EMOTIONS ARE CRUSHED BY STRATEGIES,
HUMAN BEINGS SHOULD LEARN BEING HUMANS

BEFORE THE WORLD IS LEFT WITH ONLY,

WARS AND TRAGEDY..

---- THE END ----

Hi guys, This was my first poem which got recognition in my school literary magazine, and when I saw it I howled (cried/ laughed/ danced like a madwoman) with happiness...

My literature teacher praised it, that was one of my proudest hours, he's the best you'll find in my school... He's really cool. the other teachers are well...*sigh*

Anyways my teacher prefences are hardly the topic here :P

PLEASE COMMENT, VOTE, SHARE.

THANKS,

PS I hadn't realized I had typed so much in CAPS, any ways I'm too lazy to go back and fix it, since I'm using a very old phone :(
