Rain Of Blood

• Artist: Novaske
• Description: This is a poem I wrote a while back, the meaning should be rather obvious. Also going to point out, poetry does not need to rhyme, I find it rather annoying when people believe it must. Please comment and tell me what you truly think.
  Thank-you for looking =)

The clouds have come, and they have filled the air.
The mystery gone, everyone is there.
The corpse filled fields, spread everywhere.
But does the leader care?
The rain crashed down, children cried.
Mommy and Daddy no longer live.
A child runs, clutches its doll close.
Its reason to live has disappeared.
The rain continues crashing down, the blood of innocents cry.
Lives ruined, many scarred.
But do the leaders even shed a tear?
Blood washes down the steps of destiny.
Stains the walls of honor.
This is not why we live, yet we fight anyway?
This is the only way, or so people say.
But why do we kill?
Why do we fight?
Yes one day we will die, but till then there should be life!
Children come of age, get sent out to die grasping on the lies of a new life.
We are not meant to be this way, we are meant to live.
Yet again and again, we cry, didn't we predict this though?
So come together, stop the rain of blood,
Stop it all before we go extinct, absorbed by grief and pain.
Stop the warring, Stop the death, Stop believing more death brings peace.
Just listen to the rain, and you will know that it is not true.
So stop it all, and maybe, maybe, you shall see the truth.

This was very nice to read. I believe the message was pretty clear. What is life if there is only death? Great writing! smile

i agree and disagree with points that are mentioned through out the poem, the war is pointless but if we wave a white flag in the air and retreat with out a word or any gov officials i believe that terrorists won't see it as a peace treaty rather an invitation to bomb and terrorize America. comment back plz

Thank-you guys for commenting, and also thanks to Bolbi for understanding the meaning. To Tween: Yes, Bush really did screw things up, but let us not turn my poem into a political debate about him as I did not write with just America's wars in mind but all of the wars that humans seem to find inevitable.

That Was an excellent Poem, it basically means you can't achieve peace with war and that if you think of other ways to compromise then you won't have to have people die. ~This Has Just Been Bolbi'd~ that's the meaning of the words that have much thought inside of them. 5/5 sweetheart

I love it. It's beautiful and awful at the same time. Honestly I prefer poetry when it doesn't rhyme. When it does it loses a lot of meaning and always seems jokey

smile yes, it is very obvious, and i totally agree. this war is pointless, bush started his own personal war and uses up lives like they're nothing. he's the reason y our economy is so bad. bush, go burn in hell! smile 5/5
