There will now be a short Intermission.
Our Sales Staff will be in all parts of my Webpage selling: Choc- Ices , Soft drinks and Pop Corn.
It's 4 O'clock in the morning,
With a restless mind and a new day dawning,
And I won't get back to sleep again,
From the Volume of Cries by a World full of pain.
It's a skin full of lesions now septic and deep,
Those demons are brawling and breaking my Sleep.
But more stronger in torment than the Hell set above:
Oh , if only She knew of the depth of my Love.
War begets War as the Saga moves on,
With the fire and smoke that blacken the good Sun,
Where the battlefield's dew is but the tears of the lost,
And a soil rich in blood to give weight to the cost:
But more stronger in torment than the Hell set above:
Oh, if only She knew of the depth of my Love.
Dear Mother Amazon now your bones are stripped bare,
For what manner of Right do the Butchers have there,
To ravish and Cut for the Timbers do drop,
For the future of all Man this Carnage should stop:
But more stronger in torment than the Hell set above,
Oh, if only She knew of the depth of my Love .
The Mighty Blue Ocean that girdles the Earth,
It's Virtues are rare and Heaven it's worth,
But within this World of pelagic wonder and grace,
The intrusion of Man with its Plastic and Waste:
But more stronger in torment than the Hell set above,
Oh, if only She knew of the depth of my Love.
Nation upon Nation every Colour and Creed,
To live peaceful and free, a birthright and need,
But with words soaked in Acid and a baton in blood,
That 'Dreams' is repressed and still less understood:
But more stronger in torment than the Hell set above,
Oh, if only She knew of the depth of my Love.
For She haunts all my dreams and wanders throughout day,
She's the reason there's joy and Wonton dismay,
For this Worlds full of Hope and incessant dull Pain:
But the Love Unrequited, is the Crazed Night of the Sane.

Good to see this dug out of “oblivion.”
Thank you. I like to think we get better in time at the old Writing.
I was in two minds wether to send it in .
It was a good call, as far as I can tell 🙏🏻🕊
A beautifully written write, highlighting the destruction of man on nature and each other, a message that should be headed, enjoyed the read
Thank you for your Comments.
Glad you liked it.
You are very welcome
Beautifully worded the theme is gradually revealed and is quite clear, with personification it pulls a tear and that to makes it poetic and deserving of a fave.
Thank you for reading. I was not 100% about this one .
Powerful work.
