Let Life Prevail Poem by louis rams

Let Life Prevail

Rating: 5.0


this world of ours is in complete disarray
so many countries fighting every day.
they say that war helps the economy
this is something that i can not see.

some must die, so that others can live
to me, that's a crying sin.
civil and world wars reign
the taking of lives is not a game.

since the beginning of time
man has failed
why don't we let life prevail?

why do we seek to destroy one another
as ABEL and CAIN had done.
to have a guilty conscience is not fun.

if it was in GODS will for us to kill one another.
there would not be a place to live
we would just live in sin.

but! he gave us an option at birth
we must use it for what its worth.
open your eyes and look around
for this world will be torn to the ground.

there will not be a place to hide
no matter how hard you try.
family members will be slaughtered
that will be the daily order.

seeing your mother and father
laying on the ground
looking up without a sound.

is this the way that you want it to be?

or would you prefer to give a hand
and have humanity understand
that this is not the way it must be
for our childrens sake and family.

let life prevail for all to see
this is the way GOD meant it to be.

This is very good, but I will say something to you! ! ! Thomas Hobbs said 'Covenants without swords are but words, that they do no good to the humanity'..... Well the case is this sir! ! ! the world is such a sinful place that when you show such love, people begin to exploit it.. that is the case, when a mother shows extreme tenderness and love to a child, he kinda begin to exploit that love... So sometimes humanity can't move forward with out conflicts.... And if you can solve this problems and put an end to them, by any means necessary a new beginning will come..... 'Class conflict is the main dynamic that propels humanity forward' that is what Marx said.. well the case is in today's world there is not enough space for idealists... In fact religious institutions are kinda militarized....... Temples and churches.. Instead of teaching about love, they encourage and spur war.. that kinda thing happen when there was this ethnic conflict in srilanka.. anyway some how or other, the problem is solved after 25 years.. So in that sense, in modern world, it is almost impossible to solve conflicts with out using violence.. Very good write... nice to read.. cheers shan
