posted on the 11th sept

 

I see the bitterness polluting this world a multitude of evil hides then divides conquering with twisted visions of democracy one joke history repeating past horrors return Hurting innocent people tells another story bullies who think they are above human justice aggressors filled with pride in falsehood you will fall heaviest of all Suffering fleeing war victims as the devil marches forward his army is arising from ashes darkness grips our planet 6 children a day dying, 3 world war two show mercy for the love of all that holds good in this world Such hardships giving up everything held dear Look into your soul and know the mortal truth only the blind hide and do not see selfishness the one demon followed by others a legion Fed like animals where is the loving joy that opens arms Offering comfort to those in need have mercy Peace unto this world sings with a warm heart To love and understand our brothers and sisters plea Please give them shelter feed and clothe their weary bodies in their hours of ache With open arms I pray to God Your salvation love and understanding the scriptures we all know what must be done in our Lords name Protect those families against the demon who hates and destroys families Watching the news we are tainted with so much ugliness lies drip fed to us twisted through the master deceivers hallow heart We all know who sits at the head of a fork tongue Peace is the way forward as greed wants war only a fool arms themselves with hate their pride lies in bed with envy Cunningly cursing everyone curtains raise darkness you will kneel to the light With power and glory supreme leader at your command I bow with open eyes we see the path of complete destruction ahead Faith is the sword of truth openly we all should do more even in voice help Do we stand for something or fall in our sins I speak one soul because united we are many Just a note to say Gary on What Kind of People Are We after reading your piece these words flowed from my heart thank you kindly for the insight and powerful pen filled with light and truth

Hello Liam Mate!! I'm quite honored that you mentioned my recent refugee poem of 11 Sept above in your Poet's Notes. In my mind's eye, your marvelous poem here, "A Force To Be Reckoned With," is a most realistic and compelling write and its forceful words and gripping imagery are what I consider to be the perfect sequel to the polemical and philosophical treatment of this heart-wrenching subject that I rendered in "What Kind of People Are We?" Most Excellent Write Liam!! 7 + FAV!! Cheers, Gary

Wow! Powerful and convicting! You are right saying we need to take a stand. We need to stand against inhumane treatment of our fellow human beings. But for the grace of God...it could be us in that situation. Great write, Liam! Love, Kim
