Man's Last Days

Rating: 5.0


Amidst all God's creations,
Man is above them all;
But by the wars of all nations,
Peace among men had its fall.

Forgotten is the truth
That one God's children are we all;
And blood spilled did soothe
Hatred that from humans call.

Bombs explode and guns blast,
Hatred creeps in man's heart,
Hatred which can forever cast
Shadows of fear in others' heart.

The Earth, soaked in blood, cries:
'I have turned into a battlefield now
And as the cries of battle rise,
I see the dying peace and love.'

Sands, water and air
As poor witnesses they gaze
At destruction's glare
And at man's last days.

The Earth, soaked in blood, cries: 'I have turned into a battlefield now And as the cries of battle rise, I see the dying peace and love.' A sad picture these lines give out! Nice write. :)
