We Must Learn Poem by Peter Madden

confined within a guilded cage of imagined freedoms
the beating wings of hope flutter feably
as they taste the bitter sweet flavour of despair
its gentle kiss like a subtle poison within


we must learn to hope once more....


a heart of love drowned in a world of lust
lost and forlorn consumed by desires hunger
leaving souls surrounded yet eternally alone
prisoners of decadent passions insaitiable greed


we must learn to love again...


compassions children torn apart by hates dark grace
the abused victims of mankinds blood bound rage
left bleeding and forgotten in far off lands
captured forever in a prison forged from revenge


we must learn to forgive....
