Poem of The Day – A Poem Without A Name

A Poem Without A Name

People died of hunger
Crime and rape
Bullets without escape
Many children cried
Before they died
The earth wired
Growing tiered
It cries out to me
Couldn’t you see
Wouldn’t you think
It hurts me

Out of fear
Out of pride
You build missiles
To ascend the skies
Investing in ammunition
But not in human compassion
The seed you sow
Is the plant you reep
It’s full grown
Now the reeper weeps

    I don’t see any politics in it. Just a beautiful woman in front of a beautiful view. A deadly jealousy between two women, Israel for one, and lebanon. Next time around Lebanon needs to sharpen its finger nails, and inflict the same deadly damages. Only the one standing above needs to be left out.

    Even if Lebanon was attacked by Israel, you can’t say Lebanon after with this hurtful picture cause Lebanon was and is always looking like the first picture..and actually Beirut was the first destination city this year, hope you update this page and insert a picture titled Lebanon always with a real view of Lebanese people.

    I wrote this poem during Israel’s attack of Lebanon. I know how it made me feel and so I wrote this. Poetry is very strange, sometimes you don’t know what you’re really writing about, sometimes many years later something will happen and you’ll say to yourself, I wrote a poem about that. So I really don’t know what that poem is about so that’s why I did not give it a name. I think it is awful what Israel did, what they did is a crime, and there will be justice to those responsible, it is in God’s hands.
