did you ever wish to be a leaf?
that carried by the tree
soon enough falls
when you turned brownish and cold
innocents of night and morn

Slaughtered Innocents

slaughtered innocents
lambs on an evil altar
sacrificed to hate
carnage outrages the gods
spilt blood spells out remember

Oh! Nemesis!!

The guilty ones escape unscathed,
The innocents are relentlessly punished
The fools are adorned,
The wise are scorned.
Oh! Blind Justice,
Of Goddess Nemesis!!

No To Federal Sars

What if I say yes to Federal SARS;
Will they ever stop seizing big cars,
Or stop killing the innocents?
Labelling it as accidents;
While flexing and dancing to guitars...

Premium Member Nazi Rider

he was a Nazi
doing what he thought he should
killing innocents
without a care

when he rode his motorcycle into hell
the others shuddered
fearful of this evil soldier

For I, who have brought winter on our world,
Whose fists in bloods of innocents have curled,
Do not propose to live but for the day
That something of my past, I wash away.

Premium Member young innocents fall in love

several neighbors are watching
young innocents fall in love in a garden
remembering their own romantic stories
with deep sighs,
trying to capture the feelings
many had lost long ago

Silent Is Beautiful

her silent beauty wild untouch flames
that capture me like a moth
her silent innocents inspiring dreams
of angeled voices in my ear
mirrored beyond passion
kissed between pink petals

Truth of War

Swords flash with a glint of lightning
Men yell with a voice of thunder
Innocents killed and become the earth
Grass turned the red of flame 
Water turns to blood and food to ash
Such is war

Premium Member No One Wins

All lifeforms are
merely temporary
inhabitants of
planet Earth.
Man's time a
millisecond hidden
in the vastness of
space
Yet  innocents still
suffer needlessly
again and again
In war; No One Wins.

Premium Member When Jim Crow Goes Hunting For Gems

Teachers are supposed to be polishing gems.
But instead, are cracking the gloaming of innocents. 
Judging children by their race, when all they want to do is play.
Jim Crow is cawing for souls once again.

Fat Cats and Lawyers

Sharp Suited Sharks 
Feeding
Fervently Feasting, Foul Fiends 
Covetous Cuthroats, Cultured Convicts Convincing
Innocents Inked In Immensely Incurred Interests, 
Indebted
Enslaved, Effaced Emotions, Exasperated

Premium Member One Leader Heard their Cries

      Weary of all the killing and death
        Israelis and Palestinians hold their breath

      In hopes that the one leader who heard their cries
        has crafted a deal wherein no more innocents die

Premium Member Innocents

In a war-torn town on a cold Christmas morn' two children huddle close trying to keep warm. They have asked for no presents, no toys of fun, just for the gift of life and the silence of the gun.

Premium Member Living By the Sword

living by the sword -
many die by it as well     
     unfortunately
in their bloody wake are left
the innocents they’ve slaughtered

Mother Mary weeps for her children; her tears are soul-ambrosia. Skirmishes and wars have taken their toll; innocents are slaughtered. Her tears wash away the bloodstains; her guidance, gives hope.

Premium Member The Innocents

Fury of the sea
Panic of the boat 
Cry of the fishermen
Catastrophic
Is it a revenge of the fish 
For the pollution of the sea
Innocent were the fishermen
Who were wrapped
In the waves
And disappeared from the sea
Defendless

My Son's Enemy

Instigates trouble
Innocents bubbles within
My Daughter torments

AFRICA 2

Adoration of sunlit bold high plains
Frozen herds torn from creation’s page
Rocking tribal fears—who’s got the reins?
Innocents are hurt while tempers rage
Call for voices high and voices strong
Africans say hide when things go wrong
