Justice and Awakening.

I thought I’d share a few of my poems. They’re not new, but they’re at least recent. They’re two of my favorites I’ve written so far. Mainly because they were written in a sense of inspiration, and also for the fact they’re not as crappy as my earlier work. LOL.

Justice.

The hearts of men, whither and die
The children smile and hope as they cry
And still the world has no peace through the innocence

Where is this pursuit in which we hold dear?
The laughs, the true courage -without fear?
It has smouldered away with the dying embers in the flame of life

The silent dreams each one dreams, to forfill their hopes in this world
Is there no reason, no determination, to seek what we were born to?
To live?

A small, dark, mark on the future is what we hold in our minds
There is no justice, no redemption, no cause
We kill without reason, without moral, but always with choice

We inflict pain and suffering on the hearts of men
While the children cry, and the women lose their minds
And yet, we still feel no pity, no remorse?

We blame, without knowing the hidden truths
We weep for those who’ve the hope to move forward
We cry for the ones who are no longer in pain
Because we, with the hearts of men, are left here to suffer

We long for the perfect, the untarnished lives
Yet we do nothing to change it, it passes us by
And we cry, and we weep, we suffer
Because we wait for someone else to bring the justice.

This next one is one I wrote for a Mental Health conferance. (edit: And silly me forgot to post it)

Awakening

The tears that fall, they are not my own
The words you hear, I am not speaking
For I am in a dream, a nightmare – that is my own reality

The mournful songs that I sing, I did not write
The sparkle you see, Is only an illusion
For the webs of torture of a promised life – have only left me in hollow depths

The cruel eyes you see, they are not my soul
The smiles that are painted, are not made of steel
For the woe the hides behind this shadow with light – is only the beginning

The empty promises, I did not break
The lies I’ve told, was not my sanity
For the life I lead, is indeed my own doing – and will soon become my tragedy

The whispers in the echoes, have never passed my lips
The food you’ve seen me eat, is that of which is spoiled
For the words I speak, wether in smiles, or in frowns – are tangled weaves of abomination.

The doctrines I’ve given, have never been negotiable
The dreams I’ve told of, I have not seen
For I, have become awakened within myself – and it has made me a better person to believe.

I love your poem. nice dog. for some reason It really connects with me.

you should check out Robert Burns poem ” Man was made to mourn ” its my favorite.

Man Was Made To Mourn.
A Dirge.
1.
When chill November’s surly blast
Made fields and forest bare,
One evening, as I wandered forth
Along the banks of Ayr,
I spied a man, whose aged step
Seemed weary, worn with care,
His face was furrowed over with years,
And hoary (frosty) was his hair.
2.
‘Young stranger, where are you wandering to?’
Began the reverend Sage,
‘Does thirst of wealth thy step constrain,
Or youthful pleasure’s rage?
Or haply, pressed with cares and woes,
Too soon you have begun
To wander forth, with me to mourn
The miseries of Man.
3.
The sun that overhangs yonder moors,
Out-spreading far and wide,
Where hundreds labour to support
A haughty lordling’s pride:
I have seen that weary winter sun
Twice forty times return;
And every time has added proofs,
That man was made to mourn.
4.
‘O Man! while in your thy early years,
How prodigal of time!
Mis-spending all thy precious hours,
Your glorious, youthful prime!
Alternate follies take the sway,
Licentious passions burn:
Which tenfold force gives Nature’s law,
That Man was made to mourn.
5.
Look not alone on youthful prime,
Or manhood’s active might;
Man then is useful to his kind,
Supported is his right:
But see him on the edge of life,
With cares and sorrows worn;
Then Age and Want - O ill matched pair! -
Show Man was made to mourn.
6.
‘A few seem favourites of Fate,
In Pleasure’s lap caressed;
Yet think not all the rich and great
Are likewise truly blessed:
But oh! what crowds in every land,
All wretched and forlorn,
Through weary life this lesson learn,
That Man was made to mourn.
7.
‘Many and sharp the numerous ills
Inter-woven with our frame!
More pointed still we make ourselves
Regret, remorse, and shame!
And Man, whose heaven-erected face
The smiles of love adorn,–
Man’s inhumanity to man
Makes countless thousands mourn!
8.
‘See yonder poor, over-laboured sturdy person,
So abject, mean, and vile,
Who begs a brother of the earth
To give him leave to toil;
And see his lordly fellow-worm
The poor petition spurn,
Unmindful, though a weeping wife
And helpless offspring mourn.
9.
‘If I am designed yonder lordling’s slave-
By Nature’s law designed-
Why was an independent wish
Ever planted in my mind?
If not, why am I subject to
His cruelty, or scorn?
Or why has Man the will and power
To make his fellow mourn?
10.
‘Yet let not this too much, my son,
Disturb your youthful breast:
This partial view of human-kind
Is surely not the last!
The poor, oppressed, honest man,
Had never, sure, been born,
Had there not been some recompense
To comfort those that mourn!
11.
‘O Death! the poor man’s dearest friend,
The kindest and the best!
Welcome the hour my aged limbs
Are laid with you at rest!
The great, the wealthy fear your blow,
From pomp and pleasure torn,
But, oh! a blessed relief to those
That weary laden mourn!’

Oh my goodness, greywolf. That was so beautiful. Sad too, the way I read it. It reminds me of one of my favorite Charley Pride songs.

Thank you so much for sharing it with me, I haven’t read it.

The dog is my little Montana as a pup. Sadly, he’s not with me anymore.

From what I saw in it. It’s the author telling the story about a man who is ready to die. He’s seen all life has to offer, and knows those who remain still have so much to endure, good and bad. He’s saying he’s ready to go, he’s ready to end the beauties and the pain life has put onto him. And knows one day, someone of youth will reach their time, too.

I think its from a world weary man who’s seen enough of the world to know of its flaws and coldness. but still sees reason for optimism. He is ready to leave this place but still sees reasons why youths should live and have hope for a bright future. He is simply warning. I really relate to it and I quote man was made to mourn whenever I feel that it is necessary to remind someone of the worlds coldness. or whenever things look bad I remind them of the good things the world has to offer.

Hmm, that’s a really good way to look at it. I didn’t see that in it at all, but reading back through it, I can. Maybe it’s supposed to be two different perpectives in the same poem.

Likewise. :) I’m glad to see a few people in here can appreciate poetry so deeply. It’s hard to find these days.
