Tears Of The Soul...

I heard the noise of the TV one morn
It yelled the braking of a news
Picturing the agony and pain
And all that was just left to remain
Of a innocent passenger filled train
Then there was a liner that
A militant group claimed
the responsibility of the tears
In the hundreds of eyes there and here

 

 

I walked past the billboard of a manhattan sky

And was taken aback on one of the sight

There were twin towers of mankind

All shaken and broken to rubbles by  planes

thousands dead

I remember the paper said

What was the cause of this misery

Why is the God so silent to this

Where will those tears go to dry...

 

 

And one sleepless night

at midnight I woke up to see

Bodies strewn around with multilated wounds

So deep the scars that generations will bleed

A war witout a cause, a battle of pure loss

Loss of the past,present and future

Of all those now left to suffer

The casualties of war and faith

In eyes left with tears of blood

 

 

Now I see myself here not alone

In my eyes the truth never shone

I shunned away from being here at all

looking back on pain and tears call

But with one vison I shall live to preach

That let there not be tears of agony

but of compassion and brotherhood

Tears of love, tears of joy

Tears that make me really cry

    What a powerful write! It is so sad that it does have to come to things like this for people to open their eyes. Best of luck in the contest.

    Sometimes it takes a great disaster for humanity to realize that we are in "this" together. Sometimes we come to realize this so late - that tears are the only things left. Well put!

    That was such a beautiful poem. I actually had tears come to my eyes. Very well written
    As humans we laugh and cry And I like then ending:

    "Tears of love, tears of joy

    Tears that make me really cry"

    Good luck in my contest!

    Such sad poem, sunnystar. As I read it, I could feel your compassion and sadness. Humans, as a whole, seem to not want these terrible atrocities to happen, so why do they? Greed ad power, I believe.

    The line that touched me the most is

    "Where will those tears go to dry..."

    A very impressive and touching piece, all of it.

    Good job

    True and sad...

    "...the responsibility of the tears
    In the hundreds of eyes there and here..."

    -- "hundreds of eyes..." -- so strong lines, that really make people think about all these what's going on in our world. We are all the same and understand the pain and sorrow.

    Really great work! Thanks for writing it and sharing Your views, Your thoughts... It's very good!!!
