Post 61 of Poetry

Ill (Haiku)
Bedside laying sick
Lonesome ill and tiresome
Waiting for a cure

Danger
We have pedophiles and racists listed on the internet
But as long as they're still free they're still a threat
As long as criminals live among us we aren't safe yet
Fighting fire with fire only leads to harm
There's no use fighting back with firearms
Destructive power is futile when consumed by panic and alarm
Corporations pollute by tons as we recycle in pounds
There is no sanctuary in the skies, seas or underground
Mother Earth and Her Children are dying all around
From greed, to hate to apathy
We can see how society provides poverty
But as long as you're safe you're blind to the urgency

Political Insincerity
How do you wage war then go home to your wife
How can you casually dismiss other forms of life
How can you eat with their blood on your hands
How can you stand by your God as you break his commands
