Our Wings From Destruction

Drink down the red sweetness.

Bleed out every sorrow you have acquired.

The sweetest song should've come easier to you.

Yet you refuse to listen to everything.

 

I know how hard it is to fly.

The wings on your back are merely stubs

From the destruction and chaos all around.

But you need to keep going

Then maybe you can fly again.

 

The world will always be in conflicts.

I know from past experiences

But you need to move around them

There is no sense in thinking that

 

I wish everyone could fly away

From the pain and the hurt everyone experiences.

I wish peace were more common

Than war and weapons

nice

this is a nice hopeful piece of work.

the only thing, i think, that i had any sort of conflict with is the line that said that the world wasn't like it used to be...

unfortunately, as long as there have been humans - there has been conflict. the evolution of technology has just made it possible for us to see it all.

write on!

I really like the message you are conveying, but I think the flow was kind of off. Maybe try getting a less amount of words to express what you want to say. You dig?

by the way that is an awesome title.

Cheers,

This is a great poem of ones love for his fellow man/woman. Wishing them all good will. The one line I didn't understand 'the world wasn't like it use to be' whats that mean (past tense)thought it was a nice poem regardless.

Loved it

It has a great title and a great message. I wonder if you mean to use the word "than" instead of "then" in the last line. Thanks for the great read and keep writing.

inngs.

You have redeemed yourself, for me anyway.

I feared you were going down with Leonard Cohen Syndrome. (Thats the sickness where you become a parody of yourself and everybody knows it but you).

There is always light at the end of the tunnel because the optimists made sure that the switch couldn't be seen by anybody who wallows in self pity.

They don't raise their heads often enough to clock it.

Kind regards
