Crimson Tears Poem by Sathya Narayana

Crimson Tears

Rating: 5.0


Who killed whom?
How many died
our men; their men?
Crushed flesh and bones
knew no difference.
Spilled crimson tears
mourned sans bias.
Remnant pathos
filled the ambience
with quiet noise
and shrilling silence.

OH! Brothers versus brothers
in senseless violence
look at thoses spirits
of lost lives precious
fighting aimless battles
now in repentence.
Look at these scared beings
waiting in patience
for eternal peace.

Not by guns
not by malevalence
Use love and kindness
know God's oneness
YOU CAN ERASE BOUNDARIES
and earn boundless happiness.

Concise, terse, and filled with haunting imagery. You grab the reader's attention for sure. Well done. Just one point: should it not be noise verses noice? -John
