Premium MemberNATURE OF POLITICS

Politics stirs the dust of voices, each claiming truth in the wind’s sway.
Power leans in, then shifts again, shaped by fear, hope, and the crowd’s breath.
Beneath the noise, a quiet truth endures — people seek meaning, not war.

A FREEFLOW APATHETIC INVESTMENT: AN ALLEGORY MOMENT

Know that today’s war is
A real power mongering,
Money-making investment:
Mudering innocence lives, 
A part of the bloody returns:-
Ironically, to ignore this investment,
Is a moneyless investment itself.
However, the return is abject hypocrisy:-
And so-called “legal murdering”,
Of defenseless human beings,
Is of little concern for us
Beings who declare we
Are for human equity,
Freedom, justice,
And democracy:-
How long will we wallow
In the mockery of such beliefs?!
Come on now, let’s evoke peace
And get to depressing today’s war:
Icing out heated political muderings:-

Premium MemberPain

“Pain”
I’ve had enough.
I’ve seen enough.
My bucket is full.

Little lost boys. 
Little girls raped.
The guns never stop.

Mothers grieve.
Fathers bury.
Neighbors’ morn.

We write of it.
We sing of it.
We pray it ends.

Nations at war.
Lives destroyed.
Destruction surrounds.

Are we insane?
The pain it brings,
Over and over,
Again and again.

In midnight dreams,
On sweat-drenched sheets, 
No joy is found,
As life struggles on.

Is this the way
It's supposed to be,
No smiling faces
On living room walls?

Is this the way it ends?
Are we insane?
I don’t understand.

Premium MemberDepartment of War Crimes

It used to be called the U.S. Department of Defense,
even in the Cold War days when things were very tense.

But now its been changed to the Department of War.
Can someone please explain to me what the hell for?

Well, we certainly live in interesting times.
Some say it should now be the "Department of War Crimes"!

The HippoPOTUS claims to be a man of peace.
Meanwhile, we pray for his brutality to cease.

He has repeatedly shown that he deserves no peace prize,
with his declarations both impudent and unwise.

Premium MemberQuestions

Good and evil, war and peace -
will eternal forces never cease?
Are we destined to be dual -
with polarization as our rule?
Is the deep blue of the sky
just turf for sun and moon to vie?
On the third rock from the sun,
will we ever live as one?


Premium MemberOil Price Doctor's Chart

When your misery index graph
increases, yet again, by half,
and, at its point of inflection,
accelerates in the wrong direction,
and while you hope it will go down,
asking if this car's driven by a clown,
it's then, I hope you'll soon get well
before everything goes all to hell.

From a rotund sun-hued idol spill commands both warped and wild
And armies rise from echoes of a tantrum thrown by a child

MORE PONDERING THOUGHTS ON WAR

War murdering lives:
Peace and love, collaterals
Of power’s evil:-
Likewise is democracy’s
Justice and equality:-

Advanced murdering 
The innocent and deprived,
Can’t be justified:-
Neither can apathy’s choice
To let war monger onward:- 

Power is of God:
Peace and love always desired,
And unity rendered:-
Are we not lay apostles
Of God’s reaped worldwide oneness?

LIFE, WAR, AND RESURRECTING PEACE

When I left the womb,
The First World War had ended,
And life was waxing:-
Today, my life is waning:
A new World War is waxing:-  

The wars in between
Had collateral damage, 
But little concern:
Monetary gains shared;
Likewise, great shared world powers:-

Today however,
Power-mongering warrior
Seeks supremacy:
Both here at home, as well as
Throughout all of today’s world:-

I may not be here, 
But have faith in God’s guidance 
Navigating us:
This Lenten-warring season,
Will know resurrecting peace:-

Be in awareness:
War seeks to bomb out love:
Collateraling peace:-
With love’s ascending ashes,
Go and resurrect world peace:-

Premium MemberRight on the Left

  
      The left’s declared war on the right
         The right’s declared war on the left

      When they finish with each other
          In the center aught will be left

Premium MemberFragile Truce

 
     truce 
    fragile; 
a ceasefire 
 unlikely to 
     hold.

Premium MemberNot Responsible

The power depends on the people’s will
They were taught to believe this at high school
But as practice has shown, powers like to kill
And the people are forced to obey under rule
So the contract between the people and power
Looks a bit stretched cause it was preset 
Do I need a law how to water my flower? 
My goodwill’s stipulated without my consent?
And now you self appointed judges get loud
Condemning me for the war in your garden
But you've got the wrong address, dear crowd
Type the proper number of your chosen warden
Am I not responsible for lunar eclipses yet?
Mustn’t I write an explanatory note 
On three A 4 sheets of paper, so that
Could be cheerfully taken as my absent vote.

Premium Membercollaterally speaking

collaterally speaking...

war is like plowing...
don't like peace...hell!...bomb-plow it:
life...collateral...

A FAITH-BASED PERSPECTIVE
OF WAR AND ITS DESTINY 

Murder is a crime
Unless it’s in war;
Then it’s all legal:
A death penalty
For the innocent:-

Our reality,
Is not of heaven;
Wars have no angels:
Only its demons;
Scavengers of peace:-

Yet, let’s be of faith,
Laboring in love
God is on our side,
And has canvassed hope:
ARMAGEDDON:-

Thoughts On War Questions

When is war righteous?
Isn’t murder a crime?
Does not war murder?
Can’t collateral
Death be a crime too?: 

War can’t be righteous;
Murder is a crime:-
Wars do have murders,
Collateral deaths
Can be murders also:-
