    These are just a few anti war poems I have written lately.


    This first one is actually song. Its basically the whole bombing/fighting for peace is like fucking for virginity, yea thats like the message I was trying to convey.

    Wasted Life

    The day was young when I went down
    And the world became a blur of green and brown
    A bullet to the chest and I was laying with the rest
    Who gave their lives
    For peace

    What if there was another way
    What if we could try and save
    A soul
    And maybe if we try, no one else will ever die
    For peace



    I gave up my future
    I wasted my past
    Now the only thing fate has in store for me
    Are flowers and flowers by the basket
    And mother weeping over an American flag draped casket

    The pain is increasing
    And I hope this isn’t treason
    But as death draws near, I think I hear
    My conscious saying
    That wars a waste
    And that this world needs a taste
    Of peace


    What if there was another way
    What if we could try and save
    A soul
    And maybe if we try, no one else will ever die
    For peace

    On my tombstone it’ll say:
    Maybe, just maybe the fighting will end
    So never again
    Will anyone die
    For peace

    Satan's Favorite Game

    Never has there been a place
    So gruesome to behold
    So ghastly a scene
    As the place where gunshots and shrapnel cross
    The ravine
    Where the gun and the blade
    Have the final say
    On who goes home
    And who remains

    And when the carronades boom
    The smoke spells doom
    Misery and pain

    When man comes to the crossroads
    On the path to peace
    More often than not
    They take the road
    Riddled with death
    Suffering and shame

    And so I ask
    How many corpses must litter the path to peace
    And how long until
    The cannons are still
    And doves cross the ravine

    Unfurl the Banner (Im gonna make this one into a song as well)

    I was walking down the street on a Friday afternoon
    When I saw a man playing a solemn tune
    He came up to me and said mourn my friend
    For today is the day that the world will end
    I asked him what he meant and he raveled a thread
    He told me that hope was crushed and dead
    He said if we wanted to save the world
    Then we must try to get the banner of peace unfurled


    I know that we gotta repair the world
    And make it safe for every boy and girl
    The wind can tell a thousand tales
    As it breezes by like a ship with sails
    But lately it only speaks of death
    Prejudice and the hangman’s rope
    Maybe it’s not impossible
    Maybe there’s still some hope

    From the war torn battlefield where bullets fly
    Where hatred brews and the innocent die
    To the impoverished nations crying for help
    The world needs a savior the world needs help
    Everyone must step up and be brave
    If we all do our part then maybe we can save
    Maybe we can save the world



    So lets unfurl the banner of peace
    There’s plenty of room we’ll all get a piece
    You take one end I’ll take the other
    And let us bring peace to the world my brother
    Even though I don’t know you
    We still gotta love each other like the families do
    Cuz when the world can act like a family
    Then it will be safe for you and me


    We gotta repair the world
    And make it safe for every boy and girl
    The wind can tell a thousand tales
    As it breezes by like a ship with sails
    But lately it only speaks of death
    Prejudice and the hangman’s rope
    Maybe it’s not impossible
    Maybe there’s still some hope

    haha yo, far out dude...

    When I was walking to work after studying macro economics(don't ask why)
    I came up with this line of figurative expression whilest also thinking about unibombers(again don't ask why)...

    sentiments not incendiants,
    you are da bomb,
    now hit da bong, not ka-boom,
    tape yourself with expressions of reflections,
    not conducents for contusions,
    and alas the wars end is in sight,
    unibongers unite!

    haha, I think it needs work, but also gets the point across.

    haha yeah, it's not in song or rythmic form or anything, but again it's what I thought of to keep myself entertained while walking to work...
    I pretty recently wrote a song called "AH Solace", it covers war, domestic problems and upheaval, social-political ranting and other various topics...
    It's a kind of doors inspiration, and a chick I know...That's how I do, lots of clutter then the big bang. You should definately write some more, nothing like it.

    :ha: oh yeah and my pops just thinks that was a long winded way to the saying, "drop acid not bombs". "To each his own" I replied...

    Anything thats on my mind. Or any other emotions I may have. Short stories are always fun. I'm actually working on one right now.

    That's really good work, ESPECIALLY for your age. I'm really impressed. Don't stop writing, it would appear you have quite a gift.
