OF FOOD AND WARRING: A TANKA QUINTET

OF FOOD AND WARRING
(A TANKA QUIENTET)

Juxtaposed bombs fall…
Food’s down, starvation rising…
Death…collateral…
Thus, war’s new reaping of death:
Food uprooted and destroyed:-

Food’s an enemy,
Seeking to eat, deadly:
Starvation killing:-
Thus, be war’s new strategy:
Piled skin covered skeletons:-

Ironically, 
All this is merely Breaking News!
War’s politicking:
Pontificating power;
Not nourishing peace and love:-

May these fruitful thoughts 
Excite your hunger for peace
And its divine love:-
Not living in peace is bad. 
Not seeking to is much worse:-

Let’s not be sorry,
Rather, in our awareness,
Let’s get rid of war:-
Where there’s no peace, wherever,
There can’t be peace anywhere:-

ANSWERING A WARRING QUESTION

ANSWERING A WARRING QUESTION

Why must there always be war?
Can peace not be without war?
Yes, but with less money:
Leaving power mongers
Less oppressive over
Poor you and me:-

THE ABSURDITY OF WARRING FOR PEACE

Evilly absurd,
Bombing lives doesn’t win peace;
Just wishful power:-
War and peace are antonyms.
You can’t make them synonyms:-

War can not bring peace,
Just collateral damage,
And high death rates:-
Peace comes with labors of love,
Nourished by God’s healing grace:-

War only knows hate,
Bombing homes, schools, and churches,
Filled with peaceful lives:-
When will this world ever be
A world rooted in love’s peace?!

WARRING FOR PEACE: OXYMORONIC!

Where there is war, 
There can be no peace;
No matter who or where you are, 
We must, as one, tame this vicious beast:-

Where there is war,
There can be no peace;
No matter who are where you are
Chanting "War For Peace", must cease:-

It's like a shark with an octopus' head in its jaw,
Changing to t it prey, "Thanks for this killing  tasty piece;
And thanks to the gods of water, be floodedor this blood of ocean war":-
Oh, let the rumors of war be tabooed and forbidden:
Let peace on Earth and good will to all be as has been written:-

May the thunder of hope and elighten spirit sky our ways,
And may God's precious clouds of joy blacken with coveted love;
That in the coming remaining time in our lives' coming days,
Our blessed Earth will be flooded with raining peace from above;
And may that oxymonic warring chant be forever shoved:-

Stop The Warring Please

Please talk, keep talking
You leaders of our time, please
Stop the warring.

War of the Soul

Pride jumped into a frightening battle,
Too selfish, this war was never settled,
Almost so dark, felt like stars would rattle.
Inside, pride’s heart and spirit were mettled.

Pride rejected kindness and charity,
She listened to the dark world of conceit,
While I avoided her sincerity,
Knowing her dark vengeance was bittersweet.

Refusing to heed soul’s humility,
Pride, she’d surely bleed the murkiest grief,
Battling in a war called futility,
Pride will get you nowhere, that’s my belief!

The Warring Generals of Sudan

The warring Generals of Sudan

Yesterday, they were friends,
Sharing the cake of power together.
“This kind of friendship never ends”
One corpse did whisper.
Today they fight over the cake of power.
Where has their love gone this hour?
Two guns lock horns,
And civilians suffer.
Our piece of peace has torn.
Guns ring the bell
Of peace. We march to hell.
Generals,
Of wars.
Their murals,
Peacefully painted on the walls
Of wars.

Warring Humanity-

Was a war battle was lost
Calling all soldiers to walk
There was a war
Everyone was shot
Cease fire now
Everyone was shot
Friendly fire also
Who? are the enemy
Everyone?

Warring Warriors

Warring wounded Warriors winded, 
as they stand by the blood-stained shore;
Battalions breathily bruised and bended,
 as they begin to march on for more…
Evil encounters evolve and enslave, 
for their conquering captains do command;
As demons devour and deprave,
 decompositional defaults within their demand.

Lachrymal lonely landscapes lament, 
as deceptions and illusions take control;
Edacious entombment evokes, 
evil incarnates infiltrating the immortal soul…
Weapons of war wager wild,
 armored ambient angels lift their golden swords;
Egocentric evil must be exiled, 
as we recover and resurrect for history records.

Warring With Ghosts

You begin to know life when you stop fighting with your past
preventing you from living your life 
and wasting your valuable time 
warring with ghosts

In a society where only material things are valued 
they fall apart when confronted with the truth of Life
God is love, love created us all but if you don’t believe in God,
then believe in your potential

Love is the language of the heart, potential the amount you can give
I always remember we are our future
trying to exist without your love makes me a sorry ole sod 
easy math to figure no matter where you stand

Warring Angels-Prayers For Lia and Demetrios

In your darkness you will find the light,
Within the light you will find the Lord…
Warring Angels assemble to unite,
Raising their golden shield and sword…

All that is evil must come to an end,
Famine, sickness and raging war…
The Angels are preparing to defend,
The Lord commands with a loving pour…

Stars are aligning before the battle,
Spiritual star seeds will come to stand…
All evil that is left will shake and rattle,
For the Lord will be throughout the land…

Calling on all Angels of the Holy Trinity,
Fighting for love of the Lord’s eternity.



This poem is dedicated to our dear friend  Demetrios Trifiatis and his female friend Lia...she suffers from Myelodysplastic Syndrome which causes Leukemia.
Dear poetic sisters & brothers, let's send them our prayers and love...god bless all and especially LIA .

The Warring Heights

“Or those eighteen who died when the tower in Siloam fell on them—do you think they were more guilty than all the others living in Jerusalem? I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish”
                                                                              (Luke 13:4–5) 

              Sweet bitter bite
        stirs the tree snake — Eden’s crumbling.
      The seed of Eve trembling...petals turn white.
        Adamic-tongue fumbling.
  Father of lights, his promise to the flailing man —
  sepulcher - womb of new beginnings, a good plan.
    Flickering windows! Falling clan.
  Dueling swords plunge into deep soil — the warring heights.

Warring Factions

A land of ice and fire,
a boundless border between.
Two inseparable contradictions
Forever cursed to exist side by side.

O land of ice and fire
your attention should be on the third faction.
For they are the true threat.
The land of temptation and greed, the land of allure,
The land of discounts marches upon both
and all shall be converted.

We Are Warring Against Satan and His Evil Hordes-

We are at war;
Waring powers, seek to over throw;
A battle wages on;
Against Satan and his hordes;

Darlings therefore, put on every piece; 
Every piece of God's armor;
so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil;
Then after the battle you will still be standing firm; 
Beloved put on the armor;
So that you can stand;
Against  the wiles of the enemy the devil;

We are at war;
Waring powers, seek to over throw us;
A battle wages on our wrong choices, and demons;
Against Satan and his hordes;
