Isms Poem by hamid kareem

Isms

Rating: 5.0


terrorism, nationalism, socialism......

ism is in the air
ism we are tired of you
politics you corrupt our ear
isms we are tired of you

lives are lost, lives are gambled
isms we are tired of you
hiding behind religion or politics of blood
isms we are tired of you

polished in high degree
ism we are tired of you
telling us how we ought to be
ism we are tired of you

the dead are gone and families shall mourn
isms we are tired of you
terror is coming to us all in turn
ism we are tired of you

nations be spoilt
enemies be vanquished
ism your dream is fraught
not with madness but the blood of innocent dead
