Into the Field of Peace

Bombs going off in the city far away

As politics and policies argue over inequalities of unimportant matters

Green pieces of paper burn through each rich man’s pocket

As the pour are sucked dry by the pig’s lust for what they have

The innocent get blown away by bullets and explosions

As the lazy people sit and watch it on their television

Far away the sound of chaos resounds over every wall within the city

As the grass whispers to me in its unusual language

The trees wave with a sigh as each gust of breeze passes by

As the grass gently touches my hand in the field of peace

The sun above circles around the planet through misunderstood forces

As the sky whistles with the sound of bird songs

Each sings out with their song but all together as a symphony orchestra

As I wonder through the through the field of peace

Bombs go off

Politics are judged through hypocrisy

Economy falls apart

The pour die pour

The rich die lost in greed

The innocent die on the television

In the field of peace I can find my serenity

My peace of mind

Peace from the sorrow

The lust and greed

I can lose myself in an unbelievable haven

Through my own mind’s doorway

Into the field of peace.

I am in awe. Up to this point, I have rarely read a poem other than my own writing about how disgusted and corrupted this society has become. Truly, I have felt a real connection and reality in this poem.

Your whole approach to this subject ... the "matter of factness" of your approach is demanding of your reader and makes him/her take a closer look. This line:"Green pieces of paper burn through each rich man's pocket" is the best line, I love it.

Well said and written, my friend. May the field of Peace be there for everyone and before it's too late. Peace to you.

Everyone should have such a place to be safe among the hords of selfish self centered individuals. There is so much suffering in this world and so few answers to our dilemma .Yet here you are starting a useful trend.... awareness. Great job.
