WAR
By meadowcroft1964
10 May 2008


 I FEELING A BIT DOWN TONIGHT SO THAT WHY THIS POEM IS SO DARK






The beasts of war
 Crave peace no more
 God roars with their thunder
 Nature doned with a rye smile
Wait and watches and bides her time
While Grieving over her blunder

Chaos reigns as Mars descends
From which there's no defence
 Mankind in his ignorance's
Sits idly by, blinks his eye  
 Totally devoid of
Sight, sound and sense
 Nature we do her best
To make man pay

Man will fall at her feet
Bleating and Pleading 
Like her lost sheep
Nature will turn around and sleep 
We don't comprehend
Nature can be mans worst enemy
Has well has our best friend

Flood and famine we will endure
Many will perish you can be assured
So that MANKIND learn it lesson
Never let it happen again

Medication

Wrote last night when medication was playing trick with emotions. thought I leave on it might give some insight to how it effects me.

Very interesting how medication (and other chemicals) can affect the workings of our mind. For you it seems to induce a meditation into the the frailty of the human condition. Frankly I don't see how one can feel bright and happy in the face of fresh calamities that strike the earth one after another. Perhaps you were thinking about the Myanmar cyclone and things lilke that... I found this poem very interesting, the force of nature against man. I especially found the reference to Mars and chaos interesting. Talk about famine, we are stocking up on rice (its price has doubled in the past couple of weeks...)

Goodness me! This is a bit deep;. Man is his own worst enemy I am afraid. Nature plays no part in it.

I was not blaming nature just feel that all these climate changes and disastor are her way of tearch us a lesson. I knew it very deep but i use my writing to express my mood at that time so as not to bottle my feeling in again I KNOW I'M COMING ACROSS HAS SOME KIND OF LUNATIC BUT I NEVER FELT SO SANE IN MY LIFE
