The world is crying

The world is crying

A Poem by Coyote Poetry
"

I found this poem in a old book. It is 30 years old.

"
             The world is crying

The world is crying.
Like a forgotten child.

Crying for all the sadness surrounding
every soul on this planet.

My world seem to have forgotten the
dream of peace.

Where all nations can live in harmony.

Where upon all human beings could  learn to cherish
all living life.

But the goal of peace are forgotten.
Men of war control the emotion of the world.

World War two is fading away.
World is falling back to fear and hate.
Talk of peace is gone.
Only threats of war and destruction can be heard.

The day is here.
 Where we are over taken by fear  and ghost.
Now we must turn to tears.

Tears for the child and mother whom home was destroyed
in the way of war.

Tears for the Mother and Father waiting for their child covered
in a USA flag to be brought  home.

Starvation and sickness is running wild and millions are dying daily.

Where are the men of peace?

Can we stop the walk to our destined death?

Added one line. Very old poem. A Liberal Coyote who believed world could be saved. Today I hope 30 years later. Can we stop the madness? I pray we can.

Coyote Poetry,
"The world is crying"
It is heavy that something real when you originally wrote is still a reality now. War is such a part of humanity.
Meaningful line regarding the fear in war; "fear and ghost." Those taken and to be I suppose.....
This was kind of hard to read. but "Where are the men of peace"" Where indeed?

I agree. The poor and cities paid for the hate of the few.
A very deep write from long ago that seems to be written for todays world, It is sad that greed and the desire for power drive man to kill and destroy. I liked this poem. Kathie

Thank you Anjana for reading and the comment. I do appreciate.
I see very clearly in this poem the connection between our thoughts on the world. Man, it's getting crowded inside my head since I came to this place two weeks ago.

We are always learning. If we are lucky. We will have a open mind and tried to make our world a bett.. read more
What a world it would be, if we could find a way to peace.
It doesn't matter when this was written. It could well fit a hundred years ago... and twenty minutes from now.
A timeless piece of good, wishful thought in poetry.
