Warnings            by Sami Khalil    

I pray for a peaceful and just solution for any conflict between people

A modern English sonnet

The sceneries of war become rooted

In us now that we may see the abyss

Bit by bit, nibbling at reasons suited

Gifting caskets where death’s axes all bliss.

 

Death has aimlessly no color lingering

Where justice walks on a tightrope snugly

Through peril and pain eyes in awe picturing

Fearing loss of precious life cores doubly.

 

Days are coming when no one has shelters

Holding soft hearts on palms of shaking hands

I pray that treacherous times force dwellers

To seek peaceful solutions where peace stands.

 

Time comes when the tides pull us further out

To drown mangled bodies in hate no doubt.

[Ken Simm.]

I understand and I empathise. This is good and extraordinarily apropos.

[Sami Khalil]

Wow! Thank you so much dear poet and friend for this wonderful review and sharing. I wish humans can settle things peacefully, but they won't.

[Ken Simm.]

I agree they won't .

[Sami Khalil]

YES SIIIIRRRRR. Humans are a peculiar species. Gracie millee.

[andrew mitchell]

It all started when someone wanted a bigger slice of the pie than they were suppose to hence someone else saw it, didn’t like it and the war broke out. It’s funny the majority of people just want to live in peace but there’s always that one who just can’t help themselves and it took so long to bake it. Trying to be funny Sami. Another fine sonnet.

[Sami Khalil]

Wow! I love it. So much truth in your words. Good analogy about the pie. Thank you kindly sir Andrew for all. Long live the Emperor

[Pete]

[Sami Khalil]

A most awesome gripping sublime poem lamenting the needless deaths of masses in unequal war by selfish tyrannical super powers upon masses weakened by a terrorising regime of ethnic cleansing since ages. Palestine is dying a slow death and terror power of oppressor land usurpers doesn't relent.. Kudos!!

Plz also read and comment my newest poem too

[Sami Khalil]

Wow! Thank you so much dear poet and friend for this wonderful review and sharing. I will. God help the oppressed.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

Even when we see the abyss...we still fly to the edge of it and then over it with our hate, bigotry and vanity.
Precious life means so much to us poets, we pray and write for peace.
Soon not only the bodies will be mangled but all of our keyboards as well.
Powerful write, Sami.

[Sami Khalil]

Wow! I agree wholeheartedly dear poet and friend. You speak truth to power. You are appreciated

[ROSALIND]

Such in-depth of emotion fear uncertainty.
War is horrible but Terrorism is even unspeakable reign of terror with no
Control over the murderous ways

[Sami Khalil]

Thank you kindly for sharing your thoughts and experiences.
It all started in 1948 by Israeli terrorist groups wiping out Palestinian villages, committing massacres then expelling 300000 Palestinians to other countries. They want to have a homeland, but not others. Palestinians lost 2 thirds of the country. They live in the largest open air prisons and now graves. What Hamnas did was heinous crimes that they are lashing out at their jailers who blockaded them for decades. Long, complicated subject. No excuse for Terrorism on the innocents from both sides of the equation. Will not stop till there is a fair, just peaceful resolution to all of this madness.
Extremists on both sides fo not want this to happen, so sadly we have to get the majority moderated to establish a 2 state solution.
Thank you kindly for sharing

[Sami Khalil]

Do me a favor. Google Sabra and Shatila massacres that Ariel Sharon ordered by his minions in Lebanon, where they killed 3500 innocent men, women and children in 3 days. It was merciless and barbaric.
Americans should know this.

[Chris Shaw]

So very eloquently written Sami. Sadly the innocents suffer. I too am hoping that the violence will stop, but I fear it has only just started. It is a tragedy that it has come to this. A horror story of what the future might bring. It grieves so many of us. War is futile.

Chris

[Sami Khalil]

Whoeeeee! I totally agree. People are filled with many grievances, hurts, hatreds, pains and wounds and much more. Without fair, just and peaceful resolutions, these wars and atrocities will continue unfortunately.
Thank you so much dear poet and friend for sharing your thoughts and experiences.

[Tom]

Hatred like tides pulls people apart the inevitable outcome is blood will flow and heartbreaking as it is many that suufer are innocent non combatants, if only that hatred could be diluted such conflicts would never start, leaders, politicians please take note..

A well structured sonnet espousing the absolute futility of war, sadly as we speak the violence ongoing!

[Sami Khalil]

I love you take on this poem; indeed as you marvelously state. God help us from a nuclear Armageddon too. Nothing to play with. Stop all madness now or it will engulf the whole world.
Thank you kindly sir for sharing your thoughts and experiences.

[Jodash]

A much needed sonnet for the times we face today. How I wish those involved have the wisdom you eloquently present here. Nice one.

[Sami Khalil]

Wow! So true and well articulated dear poet and friend. I sure hope so. We don't need wars to spread, also. Nip it in the bud. Thank you Jodash for all.
