Notes About The Poem

Reading Gary Bateman's piece this rushed through my mind 

thanks pal for the inspiring words I commend you on a great write What Kind of People Are We

posted on the 11th sept

 

A Force To Be Reckoned With

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

Gary Bateman September 13, 2015 at 1:44 PM 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

Kim Merryman September 12, 2015 at 5:12 PM 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
