War Poems
#war
Poetry about historical wars, modern warfare and the effects of war on societies. War poems offer harrowing accounts of war from the perspective of soldiers and civilians.
.
The war is over?
I can't go on any longer
War wearied and worn soldiers
Fight battles for leaders
Whose hearts have grown colder
Hiding out in buildings of rubble
Machine gun fire doubles
While comfortable generals raise a toast
For map lines moving, ever so subtle
Clouds of debris from bombings
Innocent families sobbing
Cries from the dark night
Are stuck in my head, forever haunting
Friends tell me the war has ended
I'm back home and mending
But my thoughts are troubled
And I feel into hell, I've descended
War wearied and worn soldiers
Fight battles for leaders
Whose hearts have grown colder
Hiding out in buildings of rubble
Machine gun fire doubles
While comfortable generals raise a toast
For map lines moving, ever so subtle
Clouds of debris from bombings
Innocent families sobbing
Cries from the dark night
Are stuck in my head, forever haunting
Friends tell me the war has ended
I'm back home and mending
But my thoughts are troubled
And I feel into hell, I've descended

The Spy Who Loved Me
I have seen this war festering many moons ago. Ukraine had been part of the Russian empire and was also part of the Soviet Union.
But in 1991 it became independent after the collapse of the USSR and there have been tensions between Russia and Ukraine ever since

MAN DOWN, MAN DOWN
Pigs came to the crack house last night
All the crack dealers and addicts scattered like roaches throwing their stash over the cement wall
The cops shined their little lights and tried to find the stash bags
But to no avail
The pigs rolled out and chased two dudes down the street
They ran one guy down who was crossing the street
When the cop got out of the car to see what he has done, another crack dealer shot the cop right in the face
"MAN DOWN, MAN DOWN"
That's what I heard from another cop on a CB Radio
Total carnage
Total mayhem ...

Mad Demons
I’ve seen bodies splayed out in the street,
Serving as a warning for any of those who took opposition,
I’ve heard the artillery fire at will,
And oh so close,
Like mad demons let loose from hell.
I was a child so I didn’t really understand,
Why the situation only got worse, especially for the poor,
They were slaying guilty and innocent altogether,
In order to save democracy.
I only knew that once you heard the first shots go off,
An instant curfew was immediately in effect,
It didn’t matter if you were a man, woman...

The Boogeyman
The story teller of words ✍️ do you know who is the Boogeyman, for sure do you believe that someone is pulling the strings, of the puppet Master. (DROP THE MIC 🎤🔥🔥🔥) For as the new administration is finally in full force to uncovering, things that the dusted government didn't, want us to know, 🤨 as American citizens of the United States of America. 🤔. For sure now that they are uncovered the deepness and power of the Democrats party, to much funds are being funded by chance going into someone else's account. 😕 But yet all...

Like I Do
I wonder if German sympathizers
ones who risked their lives
to hide Jews
felt like I do now
watching history
circle back 'round
Did compassionate colonials
feel the same
toward Native Americans
my sacred ancestors
Or benevolent individuals
for the LGBTQ+ community
with a mind wise enough
to know we don't choose
who we Love
because Love is Love
and leads only the worthy
feel like I do
Those who are different
in race, heritage
and religious...

Shell shocked
Napalm dreams
War machine
Atomic mushroom clouds
Hide my view through the jungle
Agent orange chokes
My vision of hell soaks
Into experimental lab rats
While burnt out buildings crumble
H-bomb nightmares
Skin charred bare
In concentration camps
Where gas chambers rumble
Sweat soaked bed
Shell shocked head
Safe at home?
Brings an inaudible mumble

No Title.
It's so funny how you think you can see me
But I bleed before a crowd
They wade through my blood
Blame it on the flood
I am unseen
As they walk through me
I am a ghost
In the host of dead believers

Villanelle Nr.25 — Gaza Stripped
In a couple of years on the Gaza Strip
sea-view apartments will slowly arise
owned by the wealthy…, and ever so hip
Palestinian blood? Merely a blip
of history’s shit with the media lies
in a couple of years on the Gaza Strip
And then will arrive a cruise-liner-ship
spilling its tourists and drug-lords and spies
all posing as wealthy, dressed ever so hip
The past will be screwed through a tightened lip
which views as taboo the carnage and cries
in a couple of years on the Gaza Strip
The vile God of...

Sticks, & Stones (WWIIII?)
We haven't yet peaked
When it comes to mankinds brutal
And destructive nature
(No nurturing)
It's lurking
Like a ticking time-bomb
There'll be no theories
About this big bang
As there'll be no-one around
To theorise
Any survivors
Will be to busy fighting mini wars
To have time to think
And when all the ammunition runs out
Those remaining
Will have to make do
With sticks, and stones.....
