Short Journey!

Through life’s short journey that can be strenuous

emotions often dominate how we react

possessive and violence are common tendencies

mar most of our rational actions we make

such as harmony cooperation with genuine care

often is an option that’s not there!

 

Discipline and self-control not forgetting respect

is often lost when many want to have fun

out for enjoyment excessive drinking with mates

to be in good company with no violent intent

yet some do like to hurt mock and with malice kill

no remorse or hesitation to them another thrill!

 

Once in a minority this evil scourge is on the rise

who will stop them as these thugs rampage on

the law is limp seemingly unable to stop brutality

these gangs think they can do what they want

fear rules everyone is at risk on our streets today

no longer certain its safe to work or play!

 

Violence surely is an evolving human abomination

where power and wealth are above contempt

for billions forced into hopelessness and despair

policing for those trying to abide the law

is slowly withdrawn because of financial restraints

disillusioned no point making complaints!

Few!

Few humans through history have stood out

not thought as a god or dictator

but a man of great integrity and true vision

able to communicate with dignity

bringing nations and cultures together as one

for peace and cooperation to be won!

 

Racial religious and stubborn attitudes beaten

for us to realise we are the same

humans living together and harmony essential

for our survival from hostilities

where unity is our only salvation to survive

and we are glad to be alive!

 

Few can be loved and respected like this man

a gift to bring people together

strength to face any adversity that goes on

even after his passing from life

we can only hope that his legacy will prevail

so onward moves the peace trail!

Nuclear Blast!

The high metal lamp-post had been bent

with the force of the explosion.

Everything below was flat from the blast

nothing left all destroyed.

Though threatened none really expected

nor ever suspected.

 

That somebody would really carry it out

but it was not a nation.

Who radically changed histories course

but an unknown group!

With extreme ideas and limitless reserve

not for them life to preserve!

 

A vast area once a thriving city expunged

radioactive dust settled!

Search for victims and culprits the priority

containment their focus.

The media screens showed endless footage

as anger turned to rage!

 

What had been put forward as a scenario

was there each to see.

Billions watched not ancient newsreels

 

this was the awakening!

They heeded that unity was the solution

or annihilation the conclusion!

 

One hundred years forward war a memory

humans entwined in harmony.

The planet heeled from man’s dissection

yet elements still existed.

Rumbles of  the past savagery simmered

the cycle once more glimmered!

 

The Foureyed Poet.

 

 

 

 

Spiritually!

What if spiritually man was united

no greed or the very rich?

Kind to neighbours and strangers

without any hidden agendas.

Weapons removed no use anymore

with nothing to fight for!

 

Slums and poverty was just a memory

we had at last to be fair.

Every country working in harmony

plundering of earth ended.

Care for human and animal welfare

everybody happy to share!

 

Peace and love was all that we knew

conflicts only in books.

Bad words removed from dictionaries

museums housed all weapons.

A fair society had been established here

not a soul lived in fear!

 

It’s a world regrettably only in my imagination

but is it too virginal?

 

But I thought how nice to think what if—?
