I Shall Weep Tears For Them Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

I Shall Weep Tears For Them

Rating: 5.0


when your son
or daughter
lines up to enlist

join the military
to fight in foreign
wars America’s

Muslim Wars
in target countries
I will not judge

all suffering death pain
inflicted on sovereign
soil democracy invades

when their sons daughters
are killed as wars drone on
I shall weep tears for them

when your sons daughters
are killed as foreign invaders
I shall weep tears for them

I cannot judge right
I cannot judge wrong
I cannot stomach lies

politics is guilty
of invasion crimes
against humanity

Afghanistan Iraq invasions
Pakistan incursions drone attacks
Libya sorties rebel alliances

I cry for their children
I cry for your children
blood is on so many hands

as innocence is bath drowned
in aircraft carriers of steam blood
pornography elite power rapes

Me too dear Terence, my tears don't stop weeping from a long time. When you read the history from a very long time ago, since one of Adam's sons killed his brother. The survival of the fittest and the law of jungle are old theories. But also peace on Earth must be always the hope and pray for it
