A Poem To The Fallen

[madmike]

This is a poem to the fallen, both here and overseas

A sad lament for those who died while falling to their knees

Both from acts of terrorism and in countries lost to war

It's a wonder this world accepts it, I know I can't anymore

Crazed killers stalk our streets at home while insane leaders rule at will

Thousands of years we have endured and yet it goes on still

Is there to be no ending to their actions we know are just not right?

The truth being we are so ignorant that all we can do is fight

As religions say we should be brothers and most believe in God

Why is it that the killing goes on with so many under sod?

I say this must finished as we've taken it too long

There's no reason to put up with something we know is just plain wrong!

Hello Mad Mike,

Great piece! I agree with everyword written. There's so much unnecessary sorrow and pain. The world is so so dark yet there are sprinkles of light around every bad seed. Let's try and enjoy time with our loved ones when and while we can.

Mike, I bow my head to this your great poem and my heart is weeping about the cruelty in this world. May our prayers be answered some day (soon). Bless you, Ursula xx
