Violence by Outofsync(m): 8:56pm On Jan 27, 2016 |
The beginning There are words Which has caused wars And even more which promote evil lore But Nothing is so damaging as that one word Which has sown discord Violence My eyes dim at the sight My soul cowers behind the light The people, uncaring and unknowing Continue fighting. I don't know what to say There is no cost I can't pay All to keep the shouting at a minimum Perhaps once in a millenium Violence is meant for the lower animals For man, it should be minimal A rare occurence An unpleasant senesence I tire of seeing the after-effects My mind cries at the birth defects All due to some man's arrogance And another mans "brilliance" I do not want to wander So as to commit a slander Even a grammatical blunder Is enough to make me wonder: WHAT THE HELL AM I WRITING The end 1 Like |
