FUTURE WAR, MONUMENTAL



YOU ASK
WHERE THE MONEY IS,
NOT IN YOUR POCKET.
WE FEED DEATH
NOT OUR PEOPLE.
FOR IT IS CHEAPER
TO CONTROL
WHO IS THE ANIMAL
WHO IS OUT OF CONTROL
LOOK AT MAN
KNOW HIS PLAN
DEATH IS WAITING
TO TAKE HIS HAND

FUTURE WAR

 
Future war is mans answer
to modern times

He justifies death
by saying there's no end

He continues to blunder
through all his decisions

His answers is what's one more?

He found his end
when he left understanding aside

picked up hatred
to go along for the ride

He nestles in iniquities
that keeps him from his heart

He knows there is a beginning
he's afraid from the start

For a club in the hand is an ending
if all hold the same

Lets strike
at all that is misunderstood

clean our heart

Lets keep our difference
not if it keeps us apart

remember who we are
we'll know we are one

One end can be our hope,
one end can end our dream

One time will have to see,
one heart can be the key.


A Poeatreeman
There are no wins , for lost has won
There are no cares, Hate has won.

MONUMENTAL

 
If we built
a million
monuments
to war


We will not
have learned
one thing


For as long,
as we
are warring


There
will be
many more
to build


Many
more
will die


Let's
build
a billion more


the world
will be
our war


Let's
build
a monument


Saying
all are gone


No
more
monuments 
No
more wars


Who
needs
one now?


Peace
who had
a chance
to come


Man
has finally
eradicated
himself


He left
his
monuments
to himself


He
became
a monument
himself.


A THOUGHT!

These
creatures
built monuments


To
misunderstanding


How
are we
to understand
their best?


Try
to find
what creatures
left


For peace
 is
the greatest
monument
I can see


There
is none
for war
to be seen...


Dedicated To James
Let him use his heart
That it will become
a monument
to God.


A Poeatreeman

War
may bring
the best out?


Yet
a little of it dies


A heart
may touch a tear


Yet
so a bullet
just as near


War
may sometimes
bring the best


What
is better!
If it was not here.


A Poet's Note

A monolithic
society,


Building
til he finds
himself interned


He
built it to last
yet
he is not
here to see


What
did he leave?
Not chaos!


For
it would ruin
what he planned


A monolithic
society
that has risen
to decay


The center
of all civilizations,


Must
have
the peoples hearts


For
then all will be civil,


From
the center to the heart


No civic center
can ever come together


If it is
a building
without a heart


For
it will find itself
in ruins


Before
it even starts..
