oh ye men of so much faith
scattering your deadly wares
like confetti at a wedding
without an ounce of thought
for the innocents on the ground
where moments before was fun and laughter
is now become blood and slaughter
how do you sleep in your beds?
have your dreams turned to nightmares
and your hearts to stone?
Thank you, Lisa
Thank you, Brian, Devon, Avishek and Chrystel.
Thank you very much, Keith. I tend to have short bursts of writing/ideas, and do not drag poems out over a longer period to add further to them. In general, I see no necessity for this. If I like it it stays as it is.
Jon,
Thank you for this poem albeit short it is loaded with meaning for all to interpret as they wish. Yet the central theme is clear. The powerful act with impunity for their own interests and will do anything to achieve what they want even if it comes to slaughtering fellow humans. A powerful message, succinct and with impact.
Thank you for this
Keith

Is greed a thing we're born with?
(To varying degrees)
Some with little some with lots
Can someone answer please?
Or are we born greed-zero?
And nurtured into it
Depending on environment
Can someone help verse writ?
I guess it's the same question
Are we born with the seeds
The seeds of good and evil?
I ask my questions, plead......
