The Heart That Bleeds

A small boy lies motionless on a seashore thousands left homeless due to a pointless war Aircraft drop death from ten thousand feet . Politicians talk nonsense as mothers weep. Religion preaches peace put turns into hate. Borders are closed and the minds follows suit. Common decency waits patiently for the world to awake To the crimes of the few and the deeds that they do just for the sake of a flag and patriotic pride, innocent people have to die Is it too much to ask to put humanity first . The first world make the poorest nations pay back the debt Used by corrupt Politian's to feather their own nests bombs and missiles just keep raining down, at the cost of millions of pounds. Which all helps to keep the share holders rich. As these are the things that make my heart bleed so come on humanity let's give it a rest . comp entry 19022015
