Land Under Seige Poem by Justice For All

Land Under Seige

Rating: 4.4


When a child looks around his house
And sees tanks and the planes between the clouds
Destroying buldings and taking lives
What should he do?
When he can not find his little brother
So he just tries to remember the feeling when they were together
What should he do?
when he goes to his school
And finds his friends complaining of being poor
So he puts his hand in his empty pocket
Praying for this time to find even a piece fo chocholate
But in his heart he always knew
That he is not the kind of person
Who his dreams become true
So waht shouls he do?
At the way back to his home
He finds a piece of corn
So he rushes to his sick mother
Imagining the look when she sees him holding the treasure
And when he arrives to his mother
He does not understand what's the matter
She was in her last hour
His world becomes smaller
And he felt that he is fooler
Because he believed of justice or something purer
I won't ask what should he do
Because the right question is: What should we do?

The title of this is ' Land under siege'. That is the wrong title for this writing. It should be called, 'People under siege.' Other than that, I find there is very little that I would change. I thought it was presented correctly and it contained a great sentiment and the ending was very good. A nice piece. GW62

some people live under siege and they cannot see the way out... but no seige is worse than that we build around our heart, it's when we pretend that does not exist poor persons, victims os war, and the only thing we feed is our pride... your poem deserve more than a ten... hugs.
