The Bomb
I heard today about a bomb
that spares the buildings, 
cremating only the living flesh within.
Why, in our humanity,
do we not have the bomb that spares the tender flesh?
I heard it was because when boys play at war games
only the dead bodies count....

No War Games
As you chose to one reign them 
When you thrown of their Shah
You choose what is their future

Please don’t take the same path 
To be ridicule in eyes of all world
Don’t care about your oil games

We all need to be left alone
Live life with our kids 
No war games  please...

Divorce
Demons gleefully collect  traces of love 
Intrigued by intellectuals' war games 
Voicing their venomous phrases 
Over petty domestic crimes 
Rage trickles the air as moisture gushes miniature eyes 
Carefree smiles sink flower pots' soil 
Echoes of cries ricochet throughout walls....

I stole a garden hid it from flames,
to try and keep just one thing alive;
Collateral carnage of war games,
a single bloom of evolution won't thrive;

Detonation of everything but peace,
so careless is the nature of war;
Decimated there's nothing to seize 
save P.T.S.D flooding the drugstore....

in a world at war
school bell rings

church bells, war heroes  at rest (7)
Mothers sad good-byes, guns kill!(7)

War Call
And you too are not God

"I know that."

Go away little boy
with your war games.
I don't want you to play 
with my son.

There is no war
so small or so great
no war to be played
with him.

And I too am not God

"I pray that"

We shall stand
with pen and plow
the lion and the lamb
before the time
my son is a man.

You cannot have him.
Ever....

Educational Poetry and the Hearts of Men In the School System
Taking educational poetry to a new level
Digging into history helped me write several poems
About the harsh realities of teachers in the school system
Letter after letter I smash on the page
Hoping teachers will not be stuck in a cage
Some teachers play war games 
Taking the names of other teachers 
And trying to dirty their performance

Mark Frank
