PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

through this life and with these eyes i've perceived

the coming and going of shattered and glued dreams

and with these hands i've destroyed and planted

reaped and sowed all that lay around me



around us



with the son abandoned crying into a hand not his own

the daughtered raped and forever seen as a hoe

and the broken man who can only stare and gloat



these bitter pains and stained memories are all i have

scars that cover what once was so happy

now wrinkled and enveloped for the world

to take them away solemnly or twice in need



out of necessity



for the spacing of the once whole family

with no care for hurt feelings

i've seen this once beautiful bloom

and i've seen it carry a disease

it's infected their veins

and cured souls with unease

this pain this bitter hurt once hurt me

but now my soul is enveloped by the need

to concede it's all going to end



bring an end



to the gunshots and inhumanity

the inhabitants of rotten homes and countries

with no regard to their thoughts or feelings

and no concern to time...
