Desolation and destructions
Wars and rumors of wars
Trial and error, midst the terror
What are we fighting for?
Why? Must we ignore?
The writings on the walls
Whose gonna drop the bombs
Not I, for I wanna just live
Live again to die never
Destructions desolation;
Rhythms without a dance;
Drums beats in the dark;
Trees no longer grows in the parks;
Why? Because they burned them down;
The writings on the walls;
Filled with propaganda;
Where’s the phone booth;
I lost my wisdom tooth
Desolation and destructions
Written off be my tax deduction

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. 2023©
We always have some startling experiences
The world is undergoing a lot of revolutions
But leading to where
Better or worse
Is still unknown
Improvements and developments are welcome
Like scientific inventions to better life
But not destructions and mishaps
Like wars and man caused accidents
Natural disasters though unavoidable
Are not desired
Like sudden changes in weather
Man made mistakes are cursed
Like bribery,racism and hegemony
Now we're suffering from stress and endurance
Maybe all are ordeals of life
To pay for our wrong doings
To pay for our cruelty
To pay for our ignorance
To proof our innocence
To learn some lessons
To gain some experiences
To gain some confidence
To search for the truths of the universe
Who knows
Man always yearns for a better life
A change
But when one is granted the "better" of A
One is also given the "worse" of B
Because God knows
Man's greed has no ends
In the tone of shadows
a sorrow felt
thoughts take flight
tomorrow is in past sight
destructions dark flower
bloom into flame marks
the hour out of hand
for a fraction and a season, of darkest hours
blurred in the inner eye
oblivions dreams are torn
shadows in silent screams
something takes flight
futures a parasite
In distractions admire deep
is the deepest night, sorrow
the creation of life's deepest memories
blurred in the eyes of oblivion
oblique imagery dream
the dream the tone of shadow
the shade of sorrow
silent screams infinity!
Knowledge never dies
But knowledge never compromises
Sometimes too abundant for destructions
Sometimes too scarce for salvations
Sometimes too much for a wicked man
Sometimes too little for a saint
Sometimes too hard for a student
Sometimes too innocent for a child
Why all this Destructions? – Zamreen Zarook
God created this whole universe for the mankind,
He gave everything lavishly, thinking that we might be kind,
Even though people are able, they seems to be blind,
Whereas people failed to mind.
The sky which was created for the man started to scream and cry,
Since good morals and ethics were decry,
The fire started to do the mimicry,
As the water lands cannot bear, it came to man with a battle cry.
Land couldn't hold and it started to gorge,
Fresh air merged with chemicals and started to urge,
Whatever created for the man have started to over charged,
Stop evil and let the merits be enlarged.
Course crazed
in assassination's blueprint's,
arrangement
of devastation's
lost
liquidation...
