For POETS UNITED ~ Midweek Motif ~ Hiroshima or Ring a Bell ~ Why Death is Black and Burning ~

Poets United ~ Dr Susan Chast's  Midweek Motif



Why time stops still
 the killer finds the kill
so suddenly coming?

why sharp is the strike
cutting like a knife
leaving us  bleeding?

why common places
 are becoming Senlac?
why life is like a racetrack?

who is fighting for what 
and for what winning?
this was not said by Our Lord so Loving

why we dig but graves to fill?
On top of the High Hill
 do you see Proud Lucifer smiling ?

My heart with fear trembling
cannot for a moment be calm and still
hearing shattering glass and sirens shrill

Another blast another attack-
screams cries blood biting back
why Death is burning and Black?

Why, indeed! And this voice is timeless. Black rain may never fall again--I hope--the way it did at Hiroshima--but the "why?" must be screamed out by anyone in any war zone anywhere. I, myself, am beginning to consider the existence of a Devil because humans cannot seem to stop destroying our own kind.

Your words cause much reflection. I see a devil leading people to deal these cruel, destructive deeds.

For POETS UNITED Midweek Motif ~ Summer Solstice ~ The Earth Stands Still ~

The Earth stands still while we say tis the Sun up all day, shining stronger getting hotter come what may, who  can put a shade across tis not a car that you drive in  so you can cover the windscreen and block the heat- how days become long and nights become short,when the heart is heavy and grief is strong,when blood spills spurts spreads and flows,strange power shows,slows time dragging it to a still point,Earth seems stilled- as is the breath of a loved one,who feels the heat or cold when guns are sold to all,the license to shoot and kill is handed as protection,who is protecting who is killing?  acceptance and non-acceptance is in the inner will' Unreal cities,unreal people, so unlike what we expect War war and again war-when will it end,terror strikes Shelter is scarce, fashion abounds and all is a show off!  young dead glorified on the mini screen,dying for respect for what now? half the barren land, minerals in rang...

And, indeed, We have adorned the lowest heaven (the heaven of the world) with lamps (stars), and made (out of) them missiles to drive away devils; and for them, We have prepared (in the Hereafter) the punishment of the Blaze. a world of deception a world of truth a world of nature a world of perception beauty is truth and truth' beauty' Glory of the Creator manifest in Light, sun or moon' in nightly jewels best' a world of wonder a sky of thunder Good thrown asunder Of Man's  first blunder? shall it be then grace? when changed was the face taking the forbidden 'lace' and defying glorious space? meteor or a shooting star  flying stone of fire is one  afar a missile sent,on evil bent on  obdurate pride, clear or haar,  imagine if it is a meteor shower how much pride, terror hate  would cover and infest    the world's rose flower bower?
