One Vision of a World Turned Upside Down

A silver shawl hangs heavy over the mountain sky grey clouds shooting gun barrel smoke hiding sunlight Looking out towards the ocean dreaming in wild north Atlantic waves tides turn a little lamb suffering in the spring crouched cold We all see visions of injustices flash before our eyes turn for which no one is held responsible the standing joke of our century So many people turn a blind eye as their souls have already been bought children of this world have suffered at the hands of tyrant slave masters Born free without chains attached what gives any race the God given right killing innocent women and children destroying families unjust actions Some of us on this planet are sick with an untrustworthy state of affairs listening to what these monstrous brutes get away with In the name of peace not twisted truths building bridges instead of walls who ever sells arms are terrorists against the living Democracy has no grounds only love the suffering because behind the mask many in this world condemn us Branded from birth marked as slaves unto a system each of us a number piercing bullets flash before the eyes redemption knowing whats true

Hello Liam My Great Friend, I've finally returned and posted my first poem earlier today, entitled: "The Unknown." Your couplet here is both eloquent and outstanding (as usual). I always expect no less from you!! The imagery, words, and vision of your write are quite powerful and certainly bring both a righteous and moral message to the reader. A "7" + FAV too!! Cheers and Best, Gary (P.S. Let's talk this weekend, if possible.)

There is so much injustice in life and politics, for we never are born free, there is always a shackle on our soul. You tell well of this. Words need to be spoken to those who blind their eyes.
