Is this the end my friend?

I'm tire of war. I'm tire of naysayers of peace. Is blood and death is what we will leave for the next generation?

Is this the end my friend?



I saw children being killed in the Middle East .
They are killing babies.
So many mama's and babies being killed.
Where is God?
Where are the Prophets of peace?

Please lord.
Stop the killing of the innocent.
Allow the gardens of life and minds to grow without fear.

Is this the end my friend?
Jesus told us. Hurt a child. You create pain in him.
Poor Jesus must be crying a million tears for the one million children
dying monthly of starvation.

The guns are a-blazing.
Great cities are falling.
Israel turn the tables.
Once was the prey. Now accomplished killer/predator of people in their way.

There is no room in paradise for men who authorize killing of people and destroying cities.
This is the work of evil.

I believe the world turning a blind eye.
Leaving small country to countries hiding their true reasons to search and destroy.

I go to the quiet forest.
I pray.
Stop the guns.
Stop the bleeding of poor babies, woman and men trying to hold on to their home and cities.
The blood increases everyday.
The blood bath added more war and killing.
Hate is alive and well in our world.

Brother's killing brother. Internal struggle destroying once great countries.
What will be left when we kill  all the kindness that is left?

Who is crying for the misplaced Libyan and Palestinian?
Israel must stop pushing people away from their homeland
and Libya must regain wisdom.

I'm tire of war.
Where are the gentle hands of peace?
Where are the voices of love to stop the madness?

Is this the end my friend?
Are all of our hands soaked deep in  blood?
We don't see the misery around us?

Was an old myth.
Where Soldiers would not fight anymore.
Where greed and hate lost strength standing alone.

War is a sin.
Killing women and children for the profit of war.
Make any country involved guilty as the Soldiers or country doing the killing.


Time for people of peace to stand together everywhere.

If you stand for nothing. Don't raise your voice in disappointment.
What will you do when your child will march off to war because you did
not give a nickle.

War is a sin, my friend.

Author's Note

I hate the wars. I will never understand how anyone can kill a child?

humans are power hungry beings... some keep on feeding the fires of greed... the worst thing is that when the fire blows up for it reaches its limits then war will be the result... war and its drastic effects... how can we stop war on this conflicting human nature, the clash of personal beliefs and hunger for something more... it’s tiring at times that humans never learned from the mistakes of the past… like everything keeps on reaping itself… a cycle that never ends… I often wonder if the hands of karma and fate are part of this… mother nature and the next generation are suffering for some neglected to thing about the effects of war into a child’s mind or no child has lived to see the next future for they have suffer the consequences of this conflict which is death and lastly nature and its inhabitants are slowly dying as well… Lies and Truth are mixed up, turning into a confusion that end up in war and the understanding each other’s point of view is totally erase by anger fueled with greed making both parties blind from the truth…
a very expressive piece mr. Cayote…
thought-provoking as well….
Brilliant!!!

Awesome write, Coyote. An emotional look at war & how we should all take a look at our world & send a prayer to the Almighty for peace to save our children.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

reminds me of dylan's "with god on our side"

we think there is just cause, so then there is war...and war solves nothing.

there are some spelling glitches...but a really thought provoking piece...

absorbing write with a purpose..

"war, good god y'all, what is it good for? absolutely nothing"

When Abraham had the first son but the hand maiden..and finally Sarah had the second at 90 years old..they sent away the first born and his mother..God talked to her in the wilderness..He said He would make of them a big nation...but.....it would always be...a warring Nation..and that is still true today..I lost 90 percent of one side of my family in Germany...In high school I went to school in Dearborn Michigan with all types of Arabs and Muslims..wwe all wore the same dress code and none covered their faces...we got along like family..today my high sachool is full of covered faces and different tribes egg each others houses..It is not just the Jewish people..Kathie

[Cascara (aka Sprint Goe..]

the reference to jesus was great- it's so powerful, even though this poem isn't focused on religion

[*** Hey Jude***]

Throughout you have always shared such wealth of experience in all of your writing.
Asking germane questions that others might shy away from. When will mankind ask for Peace instead of war.
So true my friend, if we stand for nothing; we most likely could “fall” for anything.
I agree with every word in this prose, and what an appropriate ending to new beginnings!
Truth…
“war is a sin, my friend!”

Wow! It took me two minutes after reading the poem to wipe out the image it had created in my mind's eye! Wonderfully written and too good for words!

[Becky C Strukamp]

A very powerful write of war and the destruction that follows. Each of your writes demonstrate without pause the terrors and realities of life. Thanks for sharing.

[Infinite hexes]

I am really happy to know that there are still people like you
People who actually think about the world and not be so blind
This is the kind of writing I really appreciate
So this is coming from the bottom of my heart- thank you

[Sami Khalil]

You are the voice of peace and reason. Blessed are the peace makers and if I may add the voices of reason in this mad world. A great message you have penned dear poet...

[Neva Flores Smith - Cha..]

I too hate war and just want peace for the entire world. War is ugly but when innocent children are killed along in the picture it is even worse. Well written my sweet friend.
