Arthur Vaso Poet Free verse

Seized Incognito

Inked Confession

Innocence stolen
Defending my elders extremism
Fields of olives, roots never sowed by me

Dagger dripping red

Inch by inch the watermelons are mine
Dancing in glee, I bury tiny white robes and red stains
Forever blind to, denying all crimes

Faded Morality

New flowers will bloom on top of Ghazi
We thieves soon to face our just reward
Their children lie buried in the ashes of sorrow, in silent grief

Insanity, Oppression, Fabricate

Insidious allusions of grandeur
offerings of the human flesh
forever, crimes inked in history

Iniquity, Oppression, Forlorn upon a childs bones

Arthur Vaso April 14, 2024 at 1:42 AM Extremism is never good news for any side, and is sad the west supports this. Jimmy Carter actually wrote a book on this, sadly those the stepped in his shoes have not read his book.

Daniel Henry Rodgers April 13, 2024 at 6:09 PM Hello Arthur, I loved how you dig into the depths of human depravity and the haunting legacy of oppression. Your artistic words carry the weight of history's injustices, yet harrowing portrait of innocence lost and morality faded. The imagery of stolen innocence and the blood-stained dagger cuts deep, confronting us with the grim realities of oppression and its lasting scars. You have poetically showed the atrocities committed in the name of power and greed, urging us to confront the darkness within ourselves and strive for a better world. Amen! - Blessings, Daniel Arthur Vaso April 14, 2024 at 1:43 AM and thank you for your comments many will not on an issues such as these!

A fave for me Arthur Vaso April 14, 2024 at 1:36 AM You are very kind, and thank you for such kind words, regardless of politics it should be about the innocent, I am ashamed these days that we support such atrocities, and many are afraid to even mention or talk about it, your comments mean a lot to me!
