Tim Ryerson Poet Free verse

Armageddon

You are our neighbors
We are your neighbors
and we hate you
You do not belong here
You are different than us
We don't just want you to leave
We want to kill you
We want to eradicate you
We will attack you
When you retaliate
we will crumple to our knees
and cry to the world
Look at our neighbor!
Our neighbor is trying to kill us!
Then the world will rush to our aid
because the world fears us.
The world fears what we might become
You must learn to fear us.

Elizabeth Wesley January 11, 2013 at 9:35 PM Wow Tim, and all you say here is so true. I've been dumbstruck reading things about the new world order and racial hatred is one of the things in place and encouraged by these people to keep our minds busy. You should check it out, I was dumbfounded. This describes exactly what the agenda is. Wow! Elizabeth Wesley January 11, 2013 at 9:37 PM 2 wow's make me wish I had reread before posting *_*

Thvia Shetley January 11, 2013 at 3:02 PM sadly, this is the state of things... expressed nicely my friend. Not sure why we never bumped into each other either but certainly happy we have now!

Andrea Dietrich January 10, 2013 at 7:30 PM wow. STRONG stuff and so scary it is. Can't believe I have not seen any of your poetry since about four days ago!

Vesna Kovrlija January 10, 2013 at 12:04 PM Powerful and provoking poem!

Charmaine Chircop January 9, 2013 at 9:26 PM Its all about power..bullying..ruling..attacking then playing the viictim.Its all about fear..anger.greed..Its all about pain.Powerful words indeed Tim

Cyndi Macmillan January 8, 2013 at 12:33 PM The way that Canada has treated First Nations people is our dirty secret.. disgusting, horrible. Right now, one of the chiefs has just ended a hunger strike at our Nation's capital. All to have a meeting with our PM. First Nation peoples are living in horrible conditions. We are failing as a society by turning our backs on those who were here first... and deserve apologies and restitution... hugs to you Tim. Happy new Year!

Kathryn Collins January 7, 2013 at 8:04 AM Dear Tim - This is a remarkable piece. Universal - too bad. love, Kathy

[Re: Staw Men..I too read all those books of course and was mightily impressed by Stranger in a Strange Land, 1984 & Brave New World..and BIG Brother certainly IS watching us aye?] Light & Love
