Road of Blood

We've walked this earth for centuries

Enduring happiness and much disease

But through it all we walk on through

Ignoring the weak and looking for a truth

We point our guns and promote abuse

Morals have gone away, they've been let loose

And what I'll never understand

Why we strip people of their homelands

Selfish greedy bastards we have become

Feeding our stomachs until they are bloated and numb

The soldiers, they always carry out their orders

Putting on helmets and firing their mortars

Tell me, when will this all end

Will everlasting peace ever be sent?

Or it will be the gods of war

Who beat us down and rob us poor

And the bible, it's pages have frayed

The bullets rip past my face

This road of blood before me does not lead to the blessed

It only leads to pain and distress

Take me to a place of freedom

The american flag, just a salutation to demons

Posted by Kasi elaborated 2008-07-07 19:05:57 .... I too use my poetry for sanity.. a surreal way to deal with the effects of society. You conveyed a true depressing feeling, and your poems form and rhyming are pretty easy to read. + Report this comment
