Best Civilians Poems
Cry out loud for war to end
Ill treatment by the army is war crime
Vile acts against humanity
Instead of war
Love must prevail
Instead of hatred
Affectionate actions towards others
Need not to end
Save human kind. End the war
To hunt with a full stomach
To bite into the neck of the smaller
Without hunger
Fangs clamped to the back of her neck
Her face
Devoured crumpled paper
Spit up
Re-smoothed to creases
Eyes nose mouth map
Her splintered village
Smoldering
Over her shoulder
Shreds of scarves blouses skirts
Blown to the astonished charred limbs
Of her bare front yard tree
As if the widow should believe
The willow was filled with colorful songbirds
She is lifted by Ukrainian neighbors
To an evacuation bus
The stare in her eyes
To you camera Master
That of a lame animal
About to be put down
She has but two items
After a century
The wheelchair she was locked in
And the orange and white cat
That sat in her lap
Meowing
To the crowd
With a name that escapes us all.
Bloody civilians
Yes we are the bloody civilians
The ones that pays with it blood
I wonder what you see
When you see us
Is obvious we are the reason
You are out here
Is clear you are meant
To protect my right
But now to you oh
man of guns and bullet
Dress in Kaki uniform
am just a common
Bloody civilian
What else can a brutal man see
What feeling does an evil heart bear
No wonder they love our pains
We never called out ourselves
Yet to them we just
An ordinary bloody civilians
Despite they are meant
to protect our right
Bloody civilians
I smell blood
Each sunset each sundown
There is a bloodshed always
Out there some were
The most percentage
gone too soon
Are common people
There bloods smells
Everyday
Each sunrise each sundown
Our bloods kisses our land
This romance is evil
Cos of the brutality
Of the same few we
Are suppose to trust
For our safety
But is unfortunate
That all we are to them
Is just but an ordinary
Bloody civilians
What else can a brutal man see
What feeling does an evil heart bear
No wonder they love our pains
We never called out ourselves
Yet to them we just
An ordinary bloody civilians
Despite they are meant
to protect our right
Bloody civilians
We are the reason
We are the questions
We are the answers
We are the solution
We are the wars
We are the peace
We are the unity
We are the intimidation
We are the resistance
We are the rise
We are the fall
We are the power
We are the energy
We the adventure
We are the magic
We are the miracle
We are the love
We are the hate
We are the life we need
We are the people
And yes for sure
We are the bloody civilians
What else can a brutal man see
What feeling does an evil heart bear
No wonder they love our pain
We never called out ourselves
Yet to them we just
An ordinary bloody civilians
Despite they are meant to
Protect our right

Flakes of ashes brushed off,
From a face that aches of dust caught,
The departed days go unnoticed from the keyhole it peeks,
The "authority" goes by to sleep, if only it could speak,
Petrified by them, they say,
The ones who doze off through these, hurled with dismay,
Pillars in construction dropped off for hostile strikes to take place,
Harsh bombs, an arm extended in support from the gaze,
But to whom? the offenders who blitzes raids with no sign of ceasing,
To quickly exterminate the problem known as "citizens",
Citizens, the people flourishing in the land, with jobs, future and family,
They have hopes and dreams too, a bright tomorrow that they could relish,
All they wished for was to stay, not to partake in this misery play,
The lost and afraid, the scene unwraps to a brutal display,
I hope the gaze moves onto the ones in fray,
Despicable us, all we can do is pray.
