Notes About The Poem

- Black Roses -

To our world, we are traitors filled with hate
Confidence we had, turned to wonder and doubt
The spirit of brotherhood is divided into a thousand pieces

_________/)______./¯"""/')
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯\)¯¯¯¯¯'\_„„„„\)


The face of a sincere soul, bleed never loose battle
It's time to wash away the blood of guilt
Testing the earth durability with bombs and heavy weapons


_________/)______./¯"""/')
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯\)¯¯¯¯¯'\_„„„„\)


Look me in the eyes, the dream is killed
This is the reality
From another place and time, a beautiful garden

_________/)______./¯"""/')
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯\)¯¯¯¯¯'\_„„„„\)


Returning to the world that was heaven
What will we sacrifice to go back there
The world has changed in pain

Why is it, Anne-Lisa everyone that comments here agrees with you as do i. and billions of other folk,,only a hand full of evil black roses, manipulate what we are experiencing in today's troubled world, and once analyzed there will be an all mighty profit to gain. Keep on with your poetry, Sunshine, the world will one day see the light again..
