Each Morning brings
The gales of wind
The loss of life
In world of strife
In wars and bombs
No one succumbs
Death which Stings
The saga begins
Few soldiers lost
At freedom’s cost
New people die
Each morning nigh
Crumbles down
My spirit frown
This world so mean
But death and loss
Few tears it costs
Some nodding head
Their funerals gone
With gales of wind
Each morning brings
The dirge of death
With wintry gales
My day begins
ShekinahToday 
There is much pain on this planet. Earth has been a battlefield ever since Adam failed. Even rising from bed each day to earn another day of living by the sweat of my brow is a battle I have wearied of, but will continue for the sake of earning another day. Some groups of people avoid talking of such things because it might not be faith. However, if we wear such rose colored glasses that we fail to see the hurting around us, then our faith is a selfish faith, and not the faith of God at all. Real faith is not afraid to look at reality, roll up its sleeves and shine the love of God in the face of a hurting planet. I think this poem captures a certain aspect of our reality. There are those who might say this poem is too negative, but I see it as raw truth. Yes, our planet has “beauty” also, but for every mountain vista you have enjoyed, what kind of price did you pay down in the valley, in order to get there? A price well worth it I would agree, but the natural tendency of this planet is wilderness and wildness, not civilization and gardens. We create these good things against the natural flow of this world. When a religion tries to keep its own people in dreaded fear by killing Christians who do not fight back, and when other religions, such as radical Islam, try to force their belief system on others, through threats of death, that is an evil of the worse kind. Who can know of such things and not agree that this poem has a very real place on planet earth? We all need to stay in prayer for each other, because this planet is spinning very rapidly towards a very dark day.
Hi there, Thanks very much for your kind comments about the poem. I have been told that it is very grim but as you mentioned very rightly so is our world , dark and evil. I feel Truth is never an easy thing to take in. Yes this world is beautiful but look what we are doing to this world, war, blood, injustice, inequality and all kinds of evil engulfing us more and more , every passing days until we all will be choked.Yes our refuge is in our prayers .Keep your comments comming. God bless you.
I agree with your words here, but I would like to say if I could have just one wish it would be this….
” God could you turn back time and make all things beautiful again, as we have destroyed everything that holds natural beauty by one simple act……
