Wars Poems

Premium Membertired of wars

I'm sick of being wrong,
and you're being right
in your sick convictions
and your perversions
that are so longing,
for my so called attention,
sucking up to the moderators
with lies and exaggerations
of your coked up stories.
I have better things
than your obsessions,
I would never hurt children
and passion is your obscenely
of your falsified pretensions,
Have I ever been arrested?
I raised as a modern

TEXAS FLOODING WARS
(Apropos Of A Lesson Of Nature)

The flood waters came,
leaving lost lives washed away;
eyes flooded with tears:
Nature herself, warring with
collateral disaster:-

So many children
won’t be thirsty anymore;
flood waters drowned them:-
Let us thirst for quenching peace:
our human nature flooded:-

Bitterness now worshipped as religion

In Ankara and Moscow,
the ground is crimson red ~
a carpet spread on fields once green.
Life’s fluid, like red gold,
flows as scarlet runoffs into Ottoman rivers –
lifestreams of Rossiyane and Turks
spilled from their inner oceans.
Their bones ~
lifeless as strings of dead fish,
litter seas once full of life.
The tears of fatherless children fill the Black Sea,
their futures

The peace they display is the fruit of a hundred years of inner wars

They walk among us, wrapped in a quiet that intrigues, in a silence that soothes. We think they’ve always been this way, born under a merciful star, spared from opposing winds. But this peace, you have to listen to it closely: it vibrates like metal hammered a thousand times, it echoes with the memory of

Mars Has No Wars

It's not red, like they said.
It's white, green, pink, blue
And all other fascinating hues.
Not the grays I am used to.

I was told there is no air here, 
Yet every breath is crisp and sheer
No masks, no tubes, no weight to bear.
Most importantly, nothing to fear.

I didn't need a suit or a flight, 
Just a smile

Premium MemberIn the depths of time, where the echoes of wars fade silently

In the depths of time, where the echoes of wars fade silently,
Every conflict is born not as a clash but as a desperate defense,
We are immersed in a sea of silences, where the obvious becomes duty,
Freedom means the right to tell the world what it refuses to hear,
In times of deceit, truth becomes an act

Sky Wars

A morning sky blares a raucous anthem.
Bluejays, Magpies and crows
have gathered to defeat the songbirds.
I look East for any signs of massed auks.
The air is dancing, but it's a crazy dance,
a stamping clamor akin to frontline fever.
A battle is coming, the shock troops
are rattling spears in the hedgerows,
fieldmice are digging new trenches
under old roots.
Look! The

Premium MemberInstant Connection Star Wars Tribute Rondel

With a ‘May the Force be with you.’
we have an instant connection. 
Bespin’s a welcome distraction,
right through the asteroids they flew.

We’re members of the Falcon’s crew,
each essential to it’s function.
With a  ‘May the Force be with you.’
we have an instant connection.

Multiplex, drive-in, the whole slew.
Say it fierce, there’s no objection.
Other films? No competition. 
You

The Tariff Wars

There are no bombs, nor guns ablaze
No killing fields or bloody sands
Yet world is driven into craze
From “sweet old home” to distant lands

Mosaic shattered on the wall
To shreds is ripped old gobelin
Oh why, but why we started brawl
The one we cannot ever win?

I want to think there was a cause
A noble path to richer life
Yet

Walking to the film in tandem,
sold it out for opening night. 
Fanboys and girls define fandom
walking to the film in tandem. 
That iconic phrase 'Rebel Scum'
meant to be under marquee light.
Walking to the film in tandem,
sold it out for opening night.
