Sympathizing With The World: A Collection Of Poems.. by llaykorn: 2:54pm On Nov 19, 2015 |
The Common Things The common things that make life worthwhile, Like the sparkling of a baby’s smile, Or the thread of hope that his presence brings, That binds each soul to share common things. The look of love in a young girl’s face As her father’s touch; wipes away the trace Of the tears she shed for our fallen doves At the hands of those, with no look of love. The pain of grief in a mother’s heart As she mourns for those who are torn apart By the sense of loss for a life made brief, She will bear for all, her pain of grief. The helping hand that is reaching out In some small way, to turn hate about By works of good in a desperate land; May we all reach out, with a helping hand. The common things that we humans share May they forever be brought to bear; The touch of love, the hope that clings To a helping hand, sharing common things. 14/9/15 1 Like |

Ante Bellum Before the war, we hate and we love... When the bombs go off, it’s with a flash of light and a splash of colour on a vibrant night. Youthful revellers, relaxing at ease, enjoying a city which is eager to please. But that flash of light, cruelty belies, a message of terror, of life denied. A challenge to liberty and freedom of speech; no less than a challenge to love’s outreach. Hatred is sewn in a bed of need, it flowers in fear, but is nurtured by greed. Love begets that which hatred abhors and likewise hatred poisons that which love should cause. A boy of ten in a foreign field harvesting crops with a pitiful yield listens in silence to a drone overhead to the humdrum hum of a family dead. So what choice do we have in our liberty’d lands? Should we suffer attacks at our enemy’s hands? Or fight fire with fire, an eye for an eye, send soldiers to fight, to kill and to die? Or should we take the hardest of paths; ask the world to bear witness and learn from our past? To turn the cheek, and refuse to react? With violence, and hatred and force, inexact? Instead carry a message of peace and respect, education and tolerance and in every aspect; improve the lives of the children, let them share in our wealth. In short, with arms open, should we love hatred to death? 17/9/15 1 Like 1 Share |

#NoToTheLead It’s not enough, kill and maim, Call it sport, shooting game, Blasting lead all around. Left to poison, open ground. Hundreds shot, in one day, Vicious types, out to play, Will not change, not at all, Spreading out plumbic pall. Nature’s bounty takes the hit, Birds and beasts, poison grit, Do they care, see the pain, Only see what they gain. |

As a young man He was standing tall Convinced one day He'd rise above them all Yet the cracks were already appearing In his characteristic wall And so began the inevitable fall He had the world at his feet And a bottle in his hand The ground was pulled away Where once he did proudly stand The fall it came hard Until finally he did land It was ugly, and certainly not grand Now he faces life Full of bitter regret Wasted opportunities That he'd prefer to forget Past glories now long gone A grim future to be met As a broken man who's caused nothing but upset 1 Like 3 Shares |
