Now Or Never

i have found an answer
but the question i forgot 

i want to yell it aloud 
but that i cannot
 
conspiracy fills the air
whom we gave the power 
to bring a brighter future 
brings doomsday without tears 

now its time, to break the barriers 
to wipe away all those fears 

war, gun-smoke fills land and air
destroying everything that we love oh! dear 

we brought this upon us
the aftermath will ruin us 
no one can save us 
may be next species will preserve us 

peace is at stake, that's the answer
but it's too late, oh! lord we all can only say

ohh, what an emotional piece, God will save you! thi is like a cry for your country I guess?... To avoid "I Don't know" try to read up the forms of poetry... this poem is more like a free verse. I would like to say welcome to the Soup, keep your poetry pen dancing to the drumbeat of your passion and pride... you will find a lot of encouragements here... keep up the great work. Love always, Adeleke
