Carl Fraser Poet Rhyme

For the Children

They want to kill our children
And burn our houses to the ground
All in the name of some demon god
Who tell them their cause is sound.

They shoot planes down with their missiles
And watch innocent lives burn up in flames
Then the cowards run and hide
But God remembers  all their names.

One day they will stand before him 
And give an account for all their crimes
There will be a hell that will await them
Much worse than any prison time.

We were created to love each other
And never bring harm to another soul
And help others in their time of need
Then our world won't lose control

If hate and ignorance  flourish
Soon our world will melt away
So lets just keep our differences to ourselves
And watch our children play.

Genevieve Mika-Stevens August 28, 2015 at 11:27 PM I see, read, and feel your frustration about what is going on in our world today a poignant poem you've written- and almost everyday I read something in the news that is heart wrenching because like those mentioned in your poem - they use their religion to justify all the horrendous depraved things they do - those poor children and victims...you are not alone in how you feel.

Pandita Sietesantos December 12, 2014 at 8:26 AM Hi Carl, violence is an unfortunate reality of our times and sadly people have become too complacent about these atrocities. If you haven't already done so, please take a look at my poem entitled, "Screaming at the Sky" which addresses this issue. Warmest regards, Pandita.
