WAR
"Oh! Plenty wars, to seek, with eager men to die,
As many weaken hearts, to spread by peace, a lie,
With filled minds of wrath and empty mouths of blood,
With wicked whispers near, as far as weapons flood
The same old wrecked world where tyrants rule and thrive
The everlasting crowd – and o, alas! At last!! Who feels alive?!
The dim over the candle, which spread the lofty dreams
Among those shadows – lost – in such a sprout of beams,
The ripple softly falling, of golden cup’s beheading,
When fiercy swords are drawn, for jewels fall when shedding?..
Or maybe broken bones, for masters, and cruel laws for tyrants,
As well as lots of aces rise to crush such heap of ants,
- If not – why not?! – more stones, to build the shrines for giants
Which never seems to end the poison among plants?!..
Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no! There’s no one, left alive,
To tell the story further for ears that strive to listen
Such nonsense of a mirror from which the whispers glisten
Around the edges, death – this blade who guards the hive;
There’s nothing else to raise, for heads that lies beneath
A truth that’s long forgotten, replaced by some gods
Which often show at wars, to spill more blood – such odds! –
Where wrath had sunk already, like ivy changes heath;
Without a fear of dying, there’s one, among the ravens
That lurks around these realms, to mourn, to weep, to yell:
From death, to life, the bard’s awoken spirit, - look!!
Where silence seems to cure, had nothing else to tell!.."

About this poem:
WAR = Crimes against humanity.
Love
Love comes in many forms
Be it love for the sun, the moon and stars
Some love their cars
We are blessed with unconditional love from The great I AM
who also creates spectacular sunsets.
And for some their beloved pets
Many of us love the arts, be it painting, writing, music, song and dance
We come here to enjoy them all, whilst seeking the one that will fulfil our desire for companionship, fun and true romance
May you all be blessed enough to be loved and to love in return
Be it love for the sun, the moon and stars
Some love their cars
We are blessed with unconditional love from The great I AM
who also creates spectacular sunsets.
And for some their beloved pets
Many of us love the arts, be it painting, writing, music, song and dance
We come here to enjoy them all, whilst seeking the one that will fulfil our desire for companionship, fun and true romance
May you all be blessed enough to be loved and to love in return

About this poem:
A quick write on one of my favourite topics inspired by Mizzy4 challenge to get us writing again .
Poetry Corner Challenge.
Hi all,
Poetry traffic has been very slow on "The Corner" for a while, so I'm laying down a challenge for all poets to write something, anything, even if it doesn't rhyme.
(The treacherous subject
is "Love".)
So get those pens out and share your thoughts.
All poets welcome !!
Good Luck....
Mick.

About this poem:
I've seen all of these many times, when there is a movie with more than one release, I gave the original date, the original Hitcher was released in 1986. I would have watched it, but Netflix discontinued their dvds through the mail, something I have had since 2011.
online today!The Jungle
in this jungle of terrestrial life
tangled amongst the density
roaming under a silent stealth
passion waits with rapt intensity
covered softly in words of honey
attracting the ones unpledged
like stones falling into puddles
ripples fanning out full-fledged
time meanders through days
climaxing into months and years
subdued in the jungle of our lives’
effacing all the tears and fears
pending the sunlight of clearing
traversing through ordered chaos
searching through the emotions
among the ecstasy of the pathos
the jungle is captivating and bold
enduring the solemn reassuring
succumbing to the sweetness
strong and so deeply alluring

About this poem:
a journey through the jungle of life
online today!Where is your love , God?
There is nothing more in my soul.
Only grief and sadness.
And a little bit of warmth.
I'm silent.
Am I already dead?
My pain is terrible.
Blood flows everywhere
God! tell me it is just
A bad dream!
The world has gone blind.
The world has gone deaf
The earth is burning.
Where is Your love now?
At least try to leave
Them a memory of the place,
Where their children's bright dreams
Could be saved.
And a bar mitzvah
On the last night before the war.
I'm silent. I concentrate on the pain.
Please tell me it"s just a bad dream
Only grief and sadness.
And a little bit of warmth.
I'm silent.
Am I already dead?
My pain is terrible.
Blood flows everywhere
God! tell me it is just
A bad dream!
The world has gone blind.
The world has gone deaf
The earth is burning.
Where is Your love now?
At least try to leave
Them a memory of the place,
Where their children's bright dreams
Could be saved.
And a bar mitzvah
On the last night before the war.
I'm silent. I concentrate on the pain.
Please tell me it"s just a bad dream

About this poem:
no need to explain.. I guess...just my feelings.Solutions to the Migrant Problem
Here are some solutions to the migrant problem are easy you see
Just make the place they left from where they want to be
Make it a place of good wages and violence free
A place where everyone lives in glee
Make the weather nice and the governments nice too
Everyone helping each other making some great stew
You bring the onions, I'll bring the beef
And we'll have a great feast with green grass beneath
So the people will live in warmth where they don't have to freeze
And the health of them is good so they don't have to sneeze
So the problem is easy, don't cha know
Just make Mexico and the rest where they want to go
Just make the place they left from where they want to be
Make it a place of good wages and violence free
A place where everyone lives in glee
Make the weather nice and the governments nice too
Everyone helping each other making some great stew
You bring the onions, I'll bring the beef
And we'll have a great feast with green grass beneath
So the people will live in warmth where they don't have to freeze
And the health of them is good so they don't have to sneeze
So the problem is easy, don't cha know
Just make Mexico and the rest where they want to go

All seem
To scream
Dark times,
Chains bind

Kings, rule; -

Could you
Find rest? -

You strive
To live,
With lies,
Through fears,
Then cope
With tears; -
Soul, dies… -

What is
So sad? -
Each then
Must feel,
To learn
From deeds,
For good,
Like light,
Breaks evil.”
