World On It's Knees Poem by Dave Alan Walker
World On It's Knees
As we beg for forgiveness
The world is on it's knees
begging for justice
If there's no justice
how can there be forgiveness
In a man made vicious circle
of hate and greed
A man made atom bomb
thats ready to explode
Who needs war to end the world
when we can do it for free
Thank you for speaking the words many dont find the will to speak. So many people think this but are so afraid they wont be listened to that they dont speak up. So thank you.
The last two lines are really powerful. Rather than money, man's heart is the root of all evil.
A really nice poem, a great ending indeed! Promise to read more of your poems in the near future
War destroys while love builds...... So no sensible man longs for war! Love enables us to forgive and from forgiveness emanates peace! A great poem!
I think I mean I know the world is already... dead and on its knees in some parts of the planet...a breath of fresh air to read a poem that shouts out the subject...regards
who need war to end the world./ a good question seems no one has the answer
