Dysphoria of Humanity

In violence we forget who we are.

Hate indulges the human soul in blood

Lines of fate diverge when emotions flood

Eyes filled with terror as they watch the gun

The noise of death kills for fun

 

Shadows of children linger with nothing to eat

While the lives of others sparkle with diamonds on their feet

The human hand softly cries for freedom and opportunity

To be able to fight for justice in our community

 

Waiting for God to luster the world in his heavenly hand

Wrapping our minds in a safe rubber band

However, we stand there in silence with no path to flee

There is no turning back; we already started World War Three

Author's Note

Thanks for the positive reviews, I extremely appreciate it :D
And for the negative reviewers, always remember this: "Critics are like eunuchs in a harem: they know how it's done, they've seen it done every day, but they're unable to do it themselves." - Brendan Francis Behan
I'll continue to write even when you bring me down!!

So true. I wouldn't be surprised to find if this did happen. Why does human nature crave blood and war? I love the details, the imagery, the emotion....the depth of the poem. It means so much more than what is said and so it is outstanding. Like I had commented before, the quote is an exact replica of what the poem says in the description. Truly magnificent. Well Done.

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

A tense and agile piece, embarks on a bleak road and merely touches the fringes of a soul heaped in answers, well done, great read.

[Max]

A wonderfully dark portrayal of where this world is going. I quite like it :)
You have a nice aesthetic.

[Helpless]
