Beware!

An atmosphere of racism,

world of religious supremacy,

a place of tribal segregation,

a nation where liaison is long forgotten,

people divided in fierce hatred,

hungry, angry with desperateness,

men driven to the wall by power,

deprived of all rights to survive,

ask me where chaos and war resides,

and I'll show you these paths of life.

Author's Note

Chaos emanates from angry minds.
What do you think?

Boom. Hit me like a freight train. Everything you said was powerful and true. There is pain there. But in sharing you, you can create strength by bringing injustice to light. It would make for great spoken word. Maybe consider sharing it with a friend out loud? I think they'd appreciate it too. Keep writing.

[Kay Salisu Titilola]

Hope the hit isn't too much.
Thanks for wonderful take on this, R.J.
I'll try to implement your advice.

[Titilayo Sarah Eguridu]

The intensity driven by the right words is priceless.
...then the climax!

Thought provoking and inspiring.

[Kay Salisu Titilola]

Thank you, Sarah.
This was two years ago even before the country arrived at this point of Chaotic situation.

[Titilayo Sarah Eguridu]

I am strongly persuaded that most writers are prophets.
We write from a place of deep creative and primal intuition

[cheyenne s garcia]

This was a beautiful read. Really enjoyed this piece.

[Kay Salisu Titilola]

Thank you!

[Eddie Phillips]

I think it is all too real and true.

[Kay Salisu Titilola]

Thank you, Eddie.

[Cherrie]

Anger and hate is a deadly combo. That kills compassion and love.

When will we understand people are not bodies with a spirit but Spirits that live in clay 🛖 huts. No two exactly the same until you see who lives within.
Kay what you said is powerful and true. My prayer is we will Learn to see past our outer differences and see the beauty each person has.

[Kay Salisu Titilola]

Thank you for the truth you just utter hear, Cherrie.
Seems we are addicted to a living that seeks no equity and blind to the true reason why life comes to being.

[Chris Shaw]

We live in a fractured world sadly and some parts of the world have far more problems than others. We should all be more tolerant, there is so much that unites us and yet we look for division. A powerful write Kay.

Chris

[Kay Salisu Titilola]

That's the truth Chris.
So much is going on here.

[Chris Shaw]

Sorry Kay, I am truly.....

[John the Baptist]

Every line of this one is a hard hitting indictment. Many lands could be described here, but one must assume it is the poet's homeland. May things improve for the better, and soon.

[Kay Salisu Titilola]

People retaliate when they are pushed to the wall. It's been a matter of survival here.
I really appreciate this, John.

[keith]

the question is one without answer
when we grab hold of ego we fail ourselves
this is a universal write in description of humankind all around the world
you do so well offering your pen your thoughts

[Kay Salisu Titilola]

Thank you for that powerful one, Keith.
Egoism can lead to man downfall.

[Dave Brown]

What do I think?
I think we are a badly flawed species and as bad as things are now, they are just going to get worse
Have a lovely day!!

[Kay Salisu Titilola]

That's so serious Dave.
Why are we like this?

[Dave Brown]

LOL
I put it down to us mostly being human beans

[Coyote Poetry]

Hello my friend. You and I know. The cause of religion had killed many and most wars are caused by religion.
Like in Israel. Once Arabs and Jews. Lived and worked together. Now men of religion want to erase a people. I wish I had the answer my friend. Outstanding and worthwhile poetry shared Kay.
Coyote

[Kay Salisu Titilola]

That was a good example Coyote.
All we need in this world is love.

[Coyote Poetry]

I agree my friend. But the gun control the world. I pray we learn Kay. No-one wins in war.
