Wasted emotions....

Crackers sound around me
Screams heard everywhere
But there's pain in them,
No laughter heard

Blowing up peoples lives
Like they had the right
Killing innocent faces
This was my city's site

All we did was
Wait and Watch
Like we could do nothing more

Felt shameful and helpless
Watching people die every hour
Counting numbers of the dead

Feeling rage and anger
Against the terrorists and then our politicians
Who care nothing but money
'cause people at their home are safe

Sleeping in peace,
At the cost of my countrymen.
But enough is enough.

Time has already been wasted
Talking, promising and then forgetting.
It's time to wake up
It's time to shake them up.

We need answers.
Either you answer or you quit....

    A Very Powerful Piece Of Writing

    This is a very powerful piece of writing that says so much in truth. This poem touched my heart and soul. It is painful to read but that is how it should be. So well written and so much feeling here. Thankyou for writing this excellent poem and being kind enough to share it with me. I have placed you on my favourites list. Please keep writing from the heart. With all my very best wishes from Rose xx
