war (Remove filter)
Sheet metal city
Ruin, destruction, fire and fear
Now I know why they ran from here
The wounded and the dying lay under ground
Undergrowth in abundance spreading all around
Fizzing and whirring through the air, it gets closer and closer to end your fear
Mounds that were cities, ash that were people melt into snow
The seasons are two, left tattered and strewn
In this apocolyptic sight...

Just an observation
Just a little social observation
Listening in to conversations
Cyber toxins being fed now they think they know best
Their actions appear to otherwise suggest
Metaphorically dropping bombs causing divide
The VIPs betting on who dies and who survives
Dismantling families brothers and sisters
Good men jailed for fighting a war based on outrage from Chinese whispers
They are false news fue...

While washed-up men, most often old,
Pick off the innocent for sport.
Grouped women, tethered in their grief,
Mop up the personal effects,
Doused in their humid, sodden tears.

Have You?
I walk out into the lush green
To a tranquilizing Kargeen,
When a far gunshot shakes my soul
And the delicate trees lose their moles.
In the presence of whose reign
Is the humanity drowning in vain?
Some depend on War and Peace
To realise the pragmatic fact that
Conflicts can be dealt with ease,
