Premium Member War and Peace

When will we realise
What we call war
Is mass murder
Kill or be killed
Is not a good recipe
For creating World peace

Haiku Attempt 1 the Mass Murder

A Shotgun Gleaming
Spent Shells make noise in the forceful wind
Bodies lay lifeless

Minor Eruptions

Clubbing seal cubs
portends a rage for mass murder.

The tail wags the dog
and the offended march away
to slaughter strangers.

Generation after generation,
year after year,
small holocausts
erupt at the strike of a matchstick.

Meanwhile bloody footprints
reshape a landscape.

Another Mass Shooting

This time in Jersey City
Another mass murder 
Was it a hate crime? 
At least six souls have gone to meet their Maker 
Personally, I wish these horrors would stop happening 
The USA is a violent country 
And the killing took place near my nephew's new home 
He moved to Jersey City after getting married at City Hall 
TERRIFYING!

Premium Member Death of Common Sense

Who claims to be the casualty distorting a mother's right 
firstly to be addressed for what it means 
begin with the truth it never fails justice 

To address mass murder for what choice it claims to be 
abortion's the only way to lose one soul mortally dangerous 
without mercy takes away every living value 
and cardinal right from a child's life


The Tragedy

He mowed down so many 
and the blood is still 
warm on the ground
Leaders spoke of healing 
Another mass murder 
There are far too many of them
Blood, blood, blood 
Screams, screams, screams
One asks oneself 
whether people are really good
are are they evil 
I read somewhere that there are places souls go which not even demons 
dream of 
That is the case 
Find solace however you can 
Peace, Shalom, Peace

The Inmates

The inmates 

The young prisoners with slingshots
fight an army that shoots back with sharp bullets
The young keep on fighting
An enemy the knows no mercy, control the water
supply and electricity.
How many young men and women must die?
Is the enemy willing to commit mass murder?
to eradicate a race of people?
The world looks but says little and some elderly
ask: why can`t the young prisoners behave.

Post Modern Society

The forlorn look upon humanity’s face 
Weary eyes ravaged by pervasive depravity 
Societal treachery weighing upon an exhausted soul 
Insidious indecision poisoning resilience 

Observing the pre-meditated mass murder of compassion 
With horrific hesitation and sickening silence 
Stagnant and catatonic with indifference 
Immobile and and psychologically paralyzed 

Transfixed upon a whim 
To adhere to gridlock 
To embrace the virus as the norm 
And succumb to its degeneracy
