Earth Is Jinxed

Screams, Screeches, groans and wails Let me tell you Agonies’ tales And of bullets, bombs and pellet guns For a person with Heart must know these pains kids are blinded; men are jailed.. Women are molested; the old are tortured.. Lucky, You have a home and a steak to fry Billions starve and sleep under the frigid Sky Jungles of wars are scrambling Humanity Sighs are ruling the throne of sweet Melodies Deluges of Tears removing the rainbows of joy Atrocities bewitching the innocent lives to get destroy Yet you say this world is beautiful.. ? That it is benign and bountiful...? May be yeah… for you... as you are at peace! Come out of your little Palace... And you will see... Sky painting itself red...! Butterflies renouncing their dreams... Birds with trimmed wings... Blood ocean... barren trees... burnt houses... Teared eyes... and shattered bodies…. Earth is ugly .... Eartians savage... Earth is a cage... Earth is but a jixed place....!! 5-22_22 Paghunda Zahid

This is my second stop here.' Those who have clawed their way to the top Of their hidden heap, are crowing about how They have it all worked out.. However they Just drive a downward spiral, it's not as if they Cant be gotten, it is only the people getting Organised and determined that would fix things Let's see how things play out.? Thank you for Stopping and commenting.'

Hi Paghunda, this is true, honest poetry. The world is becoming a horrible place. We have to see what is happening in the world, give to those who have more of a need. The way things are going we shall soon all be in that boat. There is much our leaders could do to help but they only want to help those who already have, or so it seems. I love this excellent work. Speaks of the way things are. Have a wonderful evening. Hugs always ..... Mike. XX

Solid and substantive, you wrought intense scene as obvious as the nonchalant business as usual dark determiner. I like this piece Paghunda

The sad and dark realities that none of us want to talk about. Thank you for your appreciation. Means a lot

Paghunda your words are so correct and true, there is no argument in your words. We are spoiled and most of us fail to see the hardships of others around the world. We must reach out to those that are hurting, suffering, without the things we take for granted everyday. We should ask ourselves , what have we done to contribute to helping the less fortunate, and start with ourselves to correct our lack of contribution to help others. Reach out and donate to such causes as UNICEF or other charities

Thank you for your prayers and for the kind views you shared. I agree with you. We must help tho poor souls... And I wish we all develop such emotions... Only then, the world will become a better place. Thank you Michael... Blessings

A poem of tragedy, but full of truth, Paghunda. The world and most of the leaders are more interested in themselves than their people. It's sad we have such a distributions problem in this world today. Thanks for sharing from your heart my friend. A poet friend in Texas, Bill

Well it's all there Paghunda, yet it is a heaven.Here' Heavens being places where spirits live, its a Fallen one though.' Jesus said my Father's House has many mansions, or rooms; that is What He referenced; I believe the more eternal Heavens await, yet still not perfected its written Even heaven 'the heaven' is not clean in his Estimation When the saved are taken up, they will Join In clearing out the dead wood in the heavens.' So to say. Boy some angels are in for a shock.)

You are right Joe. At the same time it is so beautiful... But still it can't be heaven though... Wish it becames one.

'It's all relative' and It's all a matter of perspective' have never been more applicable than to your poem here, Paghunda.

You are right but wars can't be defended. It's always the brutal nations torturing and looting the weak ones

You bet its jinxed. Since the fall of man, there is good and evil. One day we'll read what we sow.

We are already reaping. Looking around. Look at the wars, occupations, poverty, etc. That truly hurts

These are certainly 'low jinks,' as opposed to 'high jinks.' The Earth may be cursed, but we have the power within us to redeem it...

True... I agree.. There are good people and Im sure it's because of those people that God isn't destroying this world

Paghunda, you have written such a beautiful poem with such lovely rhyming patterns. That indicates that you have a kind and generous spirit. Everyone has a responsibility to make room in their hearts for compassion and kindness. Maybe the wounded spirits will find relief as a result of this.

Yeah.. Hopefully... InshaAllah

OUGHT to be NONE. It's very sad that our governments cannot come up with ways to help the populations of the world instead of bringing them down to poverty's level. Nicely said, Paghunda.

Rich countries are busy invading others, while the leaders of poor countries busy in corruption. Atrocities and injustice everywhere

There is not a time that I eat when I don’t think of those starving children, their suffering, roaming in my brain. I tell this to my children as it was told to me by my mother and it makes one so thankful for fresh water to drink and food to eat. My prayers go out to all of them each day and night. I see the beauty of this earth because of the ugliness that dwells along with it. Blessings xxoo

That means you have a nice heart. We all need to give place ro empathy and sympathy in our hearts. Perhaps this will help the suffering souls. Thank you Connie

For those that have their fried steak every day, they should find solace in giving, for those that don't, Earthlings can be mean and nasty, but there are some, put your torch on high and search every corner of the globe and even use a candle - sad, but there is no guarantee you will find a human being, perhaps one, maybe two! So enjoyed this poem. Hugs and blessings Paghunda, Jennifer.

And perhaps the world exist because of those one or two good humans.
