How It Feels

In the lap of Mother,Nobody's there
Her fingers will never play in his hair
A pair of shoes she'd bought,waiting at the meal
Bleeding legs..cut feet..Murdered He returns,How it feels?

If the only voice you hear,is of Gun's fire
And people won't help saying ''You're a liar''
How it feels If your father meets his foe?
If his tongue is cut,Bleeding from head to toe?

If the only thing you see around is The Blood
What If somebody there your own is Dead!?
If your mother is dragged in the streets by her hair
How it feels If nobody stands up to help her there?

Innocents dying daily,Palestine dying to live!
Pity..Pity that you don't even have time to give!
It's not about Religion but 'bout Humanity!
Wake up!! Raise you Voice for Humanity's safety!

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

So much pain on both sides of this conflict. It is hard to believe that once Abraham was the father of both nations. Truly brother against brother. It is impossible to find a resolution when both sides are right. This is a very powerful piece and my heart indeed cry's out for the innocent on both sides of the conflict.

Lots of strong emotions and spelling out of pain how it is...............desperate, raw, without mercy, cruel............. I really like the last two lines, because of the truth in them! Best of luck in the competition!
