Blood in, Blood out

A eye for a eye world. No-one can win. When hate and violence steal all the kindness and hope. What will be left my friend?

                        Blood in, Blood out

Little boys and girls grow up and become men and women. They were raised watching war, violence and hate. What did we teach them? What did we leave behind for them?

Religion, color and race won't mean a dime when all that is good is gone. Who is crying for the village being burned down in Asia and Africa? Killed 142 kids in Asia last week. Just kids. Using religion and hate to kill. Killing charity workers in the Middle East. Making videos to increase hate.

Who are these men? Who can kill without mercy? Brother killing brother in many places in this world. Great countries believe they can save the world. Sending soldiers to stop murder. How do you stop the murderer when you send a army? Making martyrs out of terrorist. Blood in, Blood out. Just make the sky and river bleed the blood of the innocent.

Little boys and girls grow up and and become soldiers. Learning to fight and kill before learning to love, dance and sing. War, my friend. Man's great sin. We must heal/not kill.

Money runs this world. USA and world contractors making billions on blood.  If the terrorist don't have funding and guns, they will be done. Need a gun dealer and cash to kill, my brothers and sisters. He who supplies the funding is more guilty than the murderers. The blood in and blood out is paid for my hidden demons in the rich places of our world.

Little boys and girls are playing in the park today. They don't see color, race or question religion. Just children loving the sun and the long day. Today war is alive and well. If we don't attempt to stop war, terror and hate, war will find you. You will be taking your daughter or son to a plane deploying for war in distant land where our children die for the profit of war.

Time to fix this problem. Stop the funding of war and find the men who are tempting and training men to create havoc, separation and hate. Boycott any country that supplies the terror.

Time for all people to stand as one. One earth and one people.

Author's Note

Just words being whispered in the wind. Men of peace are silence. We must raise our voices and demand the end of hate and violence. For the the sake of all children.

Hi John, i Love the plea held within these words you lay before us. Like yourself and countless others,i would Love to have a world where we did not live in fear, a world where the hand of friendship was always held out. This world could have been oh so different John, it hurts to think of the way it could have been and how it is now. Wouldn't it be something if the leaders of the world and the war mongers were to listen to the common people. Maybe one day John, don't think it will happen in my time.

I hope we can change. Land, water and poor people in the way of war. They pay the price for war. Thank you for reading my words. We can't give-up or give-in. If we do. We become part of the problem. Not the solution.

[Riversong]

Very interesting. I really like what you've done!

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you. I saw war, lost good friends and today we asked. Why were the war fought? Did we help or not?

[Lydia Shutter]

Oh, if only more people believed as you do, John. I remember the 60's when we marched for peace. We believed it would come. It seems every day brings more atrocities and more killing...not to mention more hatred. You are right....we teach our children how to hate. They are not born knowing this. Your heart shines in this one, John. Beautifully said. Lydi**

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Lydia. Few people speak against war. At work. Woman said war was part of us. Her son is going to the far east now. Opinion change when you will pay the price for hate.

[Lyn Anderson]

Powerful, passionate, and heartfelt. Well done.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you for reading and the help. I do appreciate.

I feel your plea in this beautiful write, wouldn't it be wonderful to walk up to someone with the intent to kill you and send a beam of love or a force field to make their bullets useless to harm innocent god loving people? Were there such a protection against people to seek to harm for ill intentions, other than fire to fight fire, the world might stand a chance against these types.

[Coyote Poetry]

I wish for the same. I don't know if kindness and words can fix this world. I pray for the sake of the children. We learn. No-one wins in war.

[Corset]

I agree, the children are the hope of the world, that is where we start!

Thank you for sharing the peace of your heart... the desire for all people to live in peace... It cannot truly be anyone's until all are included... until all are free of the pain... the war... the hate... May we raise a generation of love.. and those strong enough to stand for peace always.. Your words help lift us...

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you my friend for reading. I hope we change our ways ASAP.

The media and politicians will dress war up with words like duty, defence and patriotism … but in the end it is nothing but an anachronism of tribal and clan life … the borders and our separateness is make believe. Here is to the day when we all realize this. Fantastic write, Coyote.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Pryde. I'm tire of war.
