In depths of anguished misery
Golden chains once beautiful
Seek  now only to strangle
Forgotten eons of  great wealth
Swallowed by warfares wicked maw
Pearls stolen from oyster shells
Once used to grace beauty, now
Drape dead necks of skeletons,on
Streets stained ruby by bomb blasts
As hellfire supplies more weapons of war


etw-2006

War makes us realize those things we hold precious are mere material things when our freedom, health and individuality are at stake. You give us the duty of looking at war and material resources as realistically as we should.

This planet is groaning with fever and rancor.

Something profound is unfolding. I feel it now more than I ever have in my life. It is a strange feeling, exhilaration and tentativeness.

An excellent Title and construct dear one!

Such a deep insight and concern over situations of war. People on war zones live like this on daily basis. GBQ

You paint the picture as it is...the best way
And it is true...these are very dangerous and foreboding times that we are living in..
The one true consolation however, is that we are getting closer to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ..
I love that word Bejewelled !

God Bless

Quite chilling, Tiger Lily - and one has to truly wonder these violent war-filled days if such a horrific event could be on the horizon.
