Short Civilians Poems

Before me, civilians bestow themselves
In debauchery: undignified city.

Behind me , the thoughtful Moon....

See innocent civilians die
    battle-tested soldiers cry

  Wonder how and why
    war is always 'justified'...

Like a mushroom, war blooms with the dark,
Armies troop on and incendiaries fly on.
Mercenaries are cold and greed burns red,
Hearts are so sore and the civilians cry on.

   In Gaza, Israel fights a weird war
     It’s not so much about eliminating an enemy

   as it is about preventing the enemy 
     from killing the civilians it’s allegedly protecting

While campaigning among South American civilians 

he got news of the death of three Brazilians

        He said he was vexed
        
        then he asked quite perplexed

just how many is a brazillion?...

the real monsters, 
are not living in your mind,
but out there, 
in the real world, 
killing the civilians, 
innocent children's and elders, 
terrible minds,
with terrible weapons,
threatening world peace....

Civilians who chant “liquor store blues”
within a Memphis alley way
Where the classical band plays
From dusk till dawn
Would lack intelligence
Should they be taught
That she resembles a foul sprite
For some wild centaur....

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...

Night of long knives

Twitter is going nuclear.
PC rules.

Serene Putin
Camara's smile at him
He winks.

Aleppo is ruined
Captive civilians killed
Rebels have gone.

Mosul and ISIS
Iraqi army of quitters 
Behind sand dunes quiver...

Dadd's tied up at work son, so he'll be late for din-din
But why is Daddy tied up, was he captured by a bunch of Injuns
Didn't he bring his sixshooter
Those Injuns don't own computers
All they know are shootouts and scalping civilians...

On the jagged edge of conflict
 The sharp blade of hate begins to show
 This hate boils over into war
 and blood begins to flow
 Fiery flashes of bomb blasts
 Light up the violent night
 Innocent civilians caught in the crossfire
 There are no solutions in sight...

Another day, another lie
  'We don't target civilians'
Bomb blast strikes maternity hospital
  Another day, many more die

Another day, another lie
  'Ukraine must be de-Nazified'
Three failed attempts on the Jewish President's life
  Chemical weapons in hand for the next try...

Genocide
Happens more often than 
we would like to think 
The Holocaust, Rwanda, Cambodia
and the Armenian holocaust 
to mention a few
Why can't we get along?  
I realize that even as I write 
these words 
bombs are falling on civilians
and children
"When will they ever learn"...

Food shortage looms again the world over;
as war in Ukraine threatens wheat supply!
Globe faces the hurricane of hunger
due to hypersonic missiles that fly!
Modern weapon’s devastating power
lets both enemies and civilians die.
The rain of bullets coming from the gun
never lets mankind eat beneath the sun!...

Conundrum 

Modern medicine 
Quick evacuation of wounded soldiers 
On the battlefield 
Keep the death rates of warriors down
And we accept the losses.

But it also makes wars last much longer 
To the detriment 
Of civilians caught up in countries where 
Warfare happens. 
 And civilian deaths are disregarded....

    Bibi exchanges hundreds of murderers
        with blood on their hands

     for a handful of hostage civilians
        fueling Hamas’ evil plans

    for ‘a thousand more October sevens’
        horrific antisemitic aggressions…

    Sleep well, Bibi, tonight 
        as your countrymen's nightmares ignite

Hot and Arid is the landscape 
Criminals and Civilians alike, Intertwining to coincide
A dynasty of politicians stretched in the crime syndicate
Lizards turning a blind eye to the Affairs

Cowardly Putin bulldozes Ukrainian towns
     then lies, lies, lies: Russia never shoots civilians down

   Cowardly Mullahs lift up their skirts
     let Hamas and Hezbollah do Iran's dirty work

   Cowardly Hamas blows up Gazan Hospital
     then lies, lies, lies that Israel did it... so ~

Revolution Number ‘12



Old habits are hard to break
As are new ones to make
But through trial and error
And maybe facing a terror
One can learn to ease an ache


Changing can be like fighting a war
Civil civilians, casualties young, and poor
The good, green and gold
Versus ways ignorant and old
May the victors’ world be better than the one before

Eighty summers ago one tyrant’s decision
Sent young soldiers east division by division
Such savage cruelty of his war machine
The degree of which had never been seen

On a cold winter’s morn one tyrant’s decision
Sent young soldiers west division by division
Conscripts will perish mothers will mourn
Civilians will bear horrors which can never be borne

Some choose to wear a soldier’s camouflage
And take their country’s coin
all to defend a Politian’s ideology
While ordinary civilians die
Sisters without brothers
Mothers without sons 
Children sent to foster homes
If the bombs have left them homes unarmed
Your deity will not help or take the pain away
His mortal representative will just stand over your grave and pray
