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.

There are no words to talk about experiences faced by common people in war zone. sufferings that's all. The real hell. On both sides. Good poem.

[Sami Khalil]

I totally agree with you dear poet and friend. I hope humans can find better ways to settle their grievances, but alas. Extremists on both sides stir up the pot.
Thank you kindly for all.

[John the Baptist]

The sonnet captures the feelings of many in these violent times. I fear we will see much more blood before this matter is settled.

[Sami Khalil]

Sad but true. I fear a nuclear war is on the horizon too. Hard to put the genie back in the lantern. Thank you kindly for sharing your thoughts and experiences

' Days are coming when no one has shelters- ' Tragically worse hour by hour by hour.

If only poets ruled the world, Sami, perhaps their insight and oft felt twenty four hour a day emotions would counterbalance the ongoing worldwide turmoil. Can we Imagine how all those dear beings are feeling, would we have their courage? Hope seemingly at death's door.

Writers, poets et al, can write using parentheses, variations instead of commands, standing capitals rather than rubble, leaders carrying linguistics rather weapons, etc. Humanity should be chaptered by honest and wise characters.

Your words have such relevant meaning and intention, dear poet:

'Time comes when the tides pull us further out - To drown mangled bodies in hate no doubt.' Start to finish you were poet, in every letter you were the human being.

[Sami Khalil]

OMG! I love it. I can't agree more with your truthful review and wise one to liberate, solve and bring goodness to all.
Thank you kindly dear poet and friend for this wonderful review.

[Sean M. Addams]

Very deep and thought provoking piece and sadly true. Overall a very good piece

[Sami Khalil]

Wowzy woooo! Thank you so much dear poet and friend for this wonderful review. I hope we can end all wars, but that could be wishful thinking. At least, we can try to find some solutions to appease both sides.
Take care.

[Kelly Scheppers]

I'm afraid the word "mankind" has lost all meaning in this world today. Such a beautiful offering, Sami...as always!

[Sami Khalil]

Wow! I totally agree wholeheartedly. We need to bring warring people together to find peaceful solutions. War, revenge, extermination will breed more and more. Thank you kindly for sharing.

[Kelly Scheppers]

My pleasure!

Indeed a sonnet that will be felt by everyone who reads it Sami. Your chosen subject is tearing at all decent people's hearts as we watch such horrendous scenes unforl.

[Sami Khalil]

I agree wholeheartedly; sad but true. Whether in Russia, Ukraine, Israel, Palestine and many on the horizon, we need to stop the madness of war. It is a vicious cycle from all sides.
Thank you kindly for sharing your thoughts and experiences.
