Change

A Poem

Change.

As I turn off the television the news brings tears to my eyes.

So much sadness at the loss of yet more innocent lives.

Why is it that these Terrorists make innocent people pay the price ?

Without a doubt of hesitation, if only they would think twice.

So wrapped up in hatred, bitterness and blame.

Brainwashed and fearless, totally insane.

“If only” the question again and again...

Enough is enough, we need Change.

Regardless of the colour of our skin or who we refer to as God...

There is no reason for this hate to begin and grow inside passionate veins.

The stains of the Blood become the chains as the cycle only remains.

Peace and love the truest words of God are lost in Angers flames.

And so an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

I watch us kill each other in the name of truth.

I don’t know their names but my heart bleeds the same.

For every action a reaction so full of pain.

Where will it end ?

Who is right ? Who’s wrong ?

The only fact in it all...

Is there are too many Angels that fall.

As innocence no longer gets a chance.

Our Children are swept away as the Devils Dance.

The blind lead the blind and it goes on the same.

Enough is enough, we need Change.
