Winston Harding Poems

The doors slammed shut on aparthed in 1990
Nelson Mandela was freed, freed from confinement
And the people shouted; long live Mandela,
Long live freedom, truth and justice
...

To speak vile against another is wrong; in silence,
Or in small group is one thing, in public, another.
Being radical is courageous; yet
Being too radical is dangerous.
...

A world strengthened by the final absolute
Vote; United Nations Security Council.
Yes, September 27th,2013, the full Body of the
Council voted, rightly so, for Syria to remove
...

This time calls for courageous leaders to stand,
Stand for the hope and safety of people of Syria
I pray for brave citizens across the globe
To call upon their leaders to step out of the crowd,
...

Lord, my soul wane in hearing,
Reading, seeing the destruction
Of Your world, Your paradise.
Evil spirit taking control of your creation.
...

It's the 21st century
The media displays it day and night,
Poverty.
Poverty across the globe lies
...

Canada, land of the rocky mountain,
The Niagara Falls, the Maple Leafs,
The land with the longest street in the world,
You, who are amongst the giant of nations, lies
...

Seen in bright form, clear and concise
The end of a leader, the birth of a country,
The message of a people heard,
No one family, one leader
...

Why is the world silent about Syria?
Are we going into a New Age of Slaughtering?
Are we suppose to stay still?
Should we not be our brothers and sisters' keeper?
...

World citizens; stop being copycats in murderous deeds!
Stop the copycat mass killing in nations across the globe.
What is being gained in killing your fellow citizens?
What is the just cause? What is the calling; Christians
