A poem by an Irish man, Koberon

Comment by poetwhoknowsit on January 10, 2012 at 11:23

Silence peace?

In a cell,

between beatings.

War ceases, peace?

To those it ruined,

To shattered life in its wake.

Suffering ends, peace?

To those left alone,

dealing with loss.

Insubstantial.

elusive.

The simple truth,

the eyes of a child, the smell of a lover,

the taste of the wind, love for another,

a butterfly's wing caught on the breeze,

completely accepting each others creeds,

peace.

We are peacefully requesting you stop all your games

park all your tanks and land all your planes

diffuse all your bombs and disarm all your guns

and fly all your nukes straight into the sun

we peacefully request you release all the drugs

and remove all the power from the hands of your thugs

to distribute them freely to all who have need

and cease using suffering to furnish your greed

we peacefully ask you to return all our cash

and all of the money your bankers have stashed

along with our gold you have in your vaults

and admit that the crisis is really your fault

we peacefully ask that you feed all the hungry

if you need any help you can use all our money

give it to those who are needy and sick

are you really that greedy? are you really that thick?

we are peacefully asking that you review your position

you bankers and brokers and bought politicians

and return to the freedom that came with your birth

and surrender your power to our mother the earth

COURT HOUSE HISTORY

Hung on the plaza

Ancestrial blood soaking

Staining the foundations of law

Feel the tremble

We walk on unsteady ground

be the world 

when you say

you spate me not

and then with none

I stare 

and smite 

the spoke and heart

to occupy myself apart

but well with talk

insane and out

the world will hear

and then will pout

I sift and sport

to gone resides

and occupy myself inside

of that what sorts

in stepping time

and men that will

and women still

sit in the streets

I ring and charge

and occupy the world at large

stop as we - which what we are - here to say - and look the world - inside out - I wish its guts - would tell its truth - so all could pop - the pill that makes - a city weep and say its heart

Today and Tomorrow

The child that you starve today,
Will not grow your food tomorrow.

The man you put on the street today,
Will steal from you tomorrow.

The student that you won't teach today,
Will not mend your wounds tomorrow.

The profits that you made today,
Will create your loss tomorrow.

Your police who locked me up today,
Will lock you up tomorrow.

Your religion that preaches love today,
Will teach you hate tomorrow.

The master who you serve today,
Will have you killed tomorrow.

The life you had until today,
Was made of my tomorrow.

All I've learned, from all my days,
from all my joy and sorrow,

Is if I don't care for you today,
Then who will care for me tomorrow?
