Blessed Ground

Blessed Ground

A Poem by Broken Hearted Faux
"

God's Tears

"
Bloody tears
Landed upon the field
As men fell
And God cried

Cannon smoke
Filled the air
And men cried out
Captain on horses

Trees screamed
Leaves shaken
To the ground
In fright

Blood covered
Every inch
Of God's land
Which he gave to us

"Fire! The enemy!"
Commander just to the right
Another down
And God cries

Young men
Not even yet 18
Fighting
Over what? Land?

Precious grass
And ground
For tilling
And growing

And instead
Comforting corpses
Cold and lifeless
God cries

This is his land
Not ours
Blessed ground
Sacred

With the final blow
The cannon roared
And smoke took
The battle field

Each side fell
And God's tears
Washed away their sins
And buried the dead

Rainbow Mist..
Filled the area
And the tears...
Of God...

Thx ^^'
This is a beautiful and powerful piece of work. Although I do not believe in God I am sure that if he saw what is happening in the world he would shed some tears for us. Great job!

A very true message. I believe God does shed tears over our futile wars. Beautifully written.

Nice Poem...It does sadden God when his people die and fight over things. Great imagery!
