Philosophy On Life, Evil and the World

Philosophy on Life, Evil and the World

The Masters, serve their greed
take from those in great need
Such is evil's darkest cloaks
swallows that so often chokes

The Blinded, serve very well
masters in the pit of Hell
Each has a false laid pride
darkness is where they hide

The Slaves, eat deep regret
of life they'll never get
Each accepts a darkened yoke
defiance rarely ever spoke

The Brave, sail with heart
paying from the very start
Sacrifice to save our Souls
Deep river, so many shoals

The Warriors, cut ever deep
die as family sets to weep
Freedom's mantle they serve
with epic hearts, iron nerves

The Innocent, stand so bare
suffer greatly, so few care
Yet they are the true treasure
their test is the real measure!

note: Impossible to include ever 
group so this poet came up with 
these six to write about...

Thank you my friend, Robert, for speaking up and say things that not many want to hear. I have been writing for years on the subject and each time the response is limited to a few good men. My last work on the subject: HUMANITY'S CURSE had a very poor response. Excellent work my friend. Congratulations for your sensitivity and concern plus for your artistic ability!

Loved this one Robert, it always seems though at mankind's darkest hour, we always seem to pull a rabbit out of the hat. So lets make sure with all we do, we dont kill off all the rabbits!!!! :)

I echo Harry's comment. "lest We Forget!"

Thanks Richard. The problem is our schools deliberately refuse to teach true history.... Yet eagerly teach that our nation is to blame for the world's evils. A very sad reality that is bearing an extremely dark fruit..

Thank you Harry. Yes, I do care but one man's voice(words) are not enough. We as a people in this nation need to return to the concept that the world needs freedom's light to stay out of the Dark Pit. We have now ventured far off the solid path..
