Harmony In The Bleeding World
The lifeless bullets bound as captive predator
in the restive barrels of the cold guns of war,
chilling cold as the brutal shadow of death,
waiting camouflaged in the dark,
wake up at the strike of the trigger,
pulled by the frenetic fingers of entranced men.
In God’s own world so humane once
blood flows thick as incensed streams,
bullets rip through the buds of dreams.
The homeless soaked in blood drift as aliens
as terror flares up in their forsaken hearths.
The bullets to accomplish the lethal mission,
whiz in feral freedom on the wings of fire,
carry the predatory quirky caprice
of insanity morphing into spiteful insensitivity,
and shoot off toward the fated targets,
deliver the blood-scripted message of death.
Let all the bullets stop midair,
abandon their fatal flights of lunacy,
refuse to become the cold blooded killers,
stop and shed the facet of fanatic fury,
fling away the fatal intent in the free air
and disappear from the bleeding world forever.
Let the life they get from the forceful fire
in the stillness of the deadly barrel,
blossom into flowers in the arena of war.
Let them entice instead the living
to breathe in free will the fragrant air
in the beautiful world of harmony.
