James Fraser Poet Free verse

If I Could Talk To God - Act 2

For all around, this world I can see
Destruction, betrayal as the impoverished plea
Palestine, Israel and these Belfast child's
A world of man, in destructive wild

We have been here
For millions of years
Why in over two thousand
We have many tears, and many fears


      People became leaders, their population steered
      An unknown word suppression, alleyed their fears
      They were told what was right, told what was wrong
      The unbelievers, well they never belonged!


In every society, there has been a written book
Through modern centuries, we have been told to look
And if we look, and these words have been found
Is is purely belief, or are these words so profound

I am no seer, but my eyes can see
My name is Semaj, and i have no plea
You are here today, respect your tomorrow
For my words above!

Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser December 1, 2014 at 6:28 AM such yearning shown here. sadly sadly that this day still so many claims to be practicing righteousness but otherwise.. James Fraser December 1, 2014 at 12:56 PM Thank you Olive. Of the many poems that I've written, this one stands out from a remembering of it being written. When I browse back, sometimes I'm amazed at what I've put down into words, James :)x Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser December 1, 2014 at 6:29 AM no religion is absolutely true but what's best to be taken into consideration is our personal relationship with Him.. no matter what religion we are in, how we live and love matters most

John Freeman November 18, 2009 at 11:23 AM This write is also very interesting James. I think the time as come for humanity to find the higher consciousness, and start a new way of thinking. History has proven that a change in our thinking is enevitable, for all that men have seen is death and destruction. Sincerely, Moses

Simone Segal November 15, 2009 at 1:59 AM I believe in the almighty, straight from the heart, but not in religion, that tears us apart, all the questions we ask in relation, the answers are their in our minds for salvation. A thought filled universe, created by thought, to carry on creating, for appreciation we ought! well written, love Simone
