Streaming tears
Escalating fears
Wordless screams
Shattered dreams..
Is might right
To create such fright?
Callous behavior
Causes hearts on fire
Broken promises
Torn desire
Forced compliance
As might seems right
Trembling spirit
Cowering with fright.
Tell their tale..
That day seems night..
Road ahead
Full of boulders
Causing anxiety -
Stooped shoulders
These are stories
Of bleeding hearts -
In which all parts
Are broken shards.
Now our morrow
Seems drowned in sorrow
As innocents suffer
Without a buffer
When will this greed
And madness end?
Have the minds of leaders
Gone around the bend??

Wish I knew, Nafisa. Very well stated, with the only question one could possibly ask at your conclusion.
exactly - my fears don't seem unfounded...
'peace' is now just a word in the dictionary..unfortunately
When that well known president changes the name of his Department of Defense to Department of War and that is the most truthful description to come out of his mouth since.....
Can't help feeling.....
I agree with you - our fears seem to be having solid foundations, and the war cry is becoming more strident
let us live our lives in peace while we can..have a beautiful Sunday
For you - Amen.
Thanks, and have a wonderful and productive week ahead..take care..
This poem expresses a deep sense of despair and frustration over the state of the world, particularly in relation to violence, suffering, and the moral failures of leaders. It questions the ethics of power and the impact of greed and madness on innocent lives.
thanks for understanding what i am trying to convey - God bless you
Dear NafisaSB, your compassion and empathy, for all that's wrong with the world is beautifully written into this poem, your rhyming is flawless, I can truly agree with your observations on it all, it is a mess all of it. 🌹 Kudos my dear friend.
yes, I agree, and it seems to be escalating - and I wonder where it is leading to ..
the only thing we can do is speak up and try to get others to notice...
Have a great and peaceful weekend, and thanks for the comments
Safina, dear friend, this is raw and urgent. The broken promises, bleeding hearts, and trembling spirits land heavy…a cry that can’t be ignored. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
and yet, it is ignored, which is so unfortunate and tragic.
thanks for understanding the message - have a peaceful Sunday
Leaders will be forgotten but poets live for eternity through their writings. Happy birthday on 19 September !
