Notes About The Poem

Desolation-Destructions

Desolation and destructions
Wars and rumors of wars
Trial and error, midst the terror
What are we fighting for?
Why? Must we ignore?
The writings on the walls
Whose gonna drop the bombs
Not I, for I wanna just live
Live again to die never

Destructions desolation;
Rhythms without a dance;
Drums beats in the dark;
Trees no longer grows in the parks;
Why? Because they burned them down;
The writings on the walls;
Filled with propaganda;
Where’s the phone booth;
I lost my wisdom tooth
Desolation and destructions
Written off be my tax deduction
