Poem Title:
Poem
There are some who live by fear And there are those who live by love Those who believe their perceptions Should not be constrained or altered There are some who think belief Should be guided and dictated They believe in the doctrines Which relieve them of any responsibility And all their laws and rules Tell them how things should be And damned be they to hell All those who think and act a little differently There are some who see The shadow cast upon this world And in the darkness of its aggression They are forced to do as they are told There are some who cannot close their eyes Nor willingly close their heart and mind To the inflicted suffering Of their fellow human beings There are some for whom this knowledge Is an icicle in their soul And it writes itself into every aspect Of the false and intimidated world And although their love and caring Reaches out to all They are confronted by the medium Of a cold and thoughtless wall There are some who consider Beauty a mere encrustation of the scene A pretty decoration In the garden of their concrete They look ever for the quality They are to receive From the payment Of its service There are those among us Who do not care In which way You express devotion They do not give a single thought To your race Your colour Or religion It is they who see All the diversity inherent in all its propensity To feel the need To answer all the questions There are some among us Who celebrate the weapon Their answer hangs on death With the bullet and the bomb There are those who think obscenity Is in the sexual act of procreation And they condemn the art of lovemaking While watching the latest Hollywood war film There are those on this planet Who condemn and demean Every human aspect Of our God inspired creation They who would haul us all Into the shadow of their own self denial And feed us to the guillotine Of their twisted sick disconnected While they Feed upon Our world
