Poem -
HELL FALLING FROM HEAVEN
Innocence extinguished
I THOUGHT WHEN I LOOK UP
AT THE SKY ABOVE
I WOULD SEE A CANVAS BLUE
AND CLOUDS OF WHITE.
I THOUGHT WHEN I LOOK UP
AT THE SKY ABOVE
I WOULD SEE STARS
LIKE GLITTERING DIAMONDS
SPRINKLED AROUND THE MOON
AT NIGHT.
BUT HELL IS FALLING FROM HEAVEN
IN THE FORM OF CLUSTER BOMBS
AND THOUSANDS OF INNOCENT LIVES
ARE NOTHING BUT COLLATERAL DAMAGE
AND PEACEFUL VILLAGES BECOMING SLUMS.
WHO WOULD SPEAK FOR ME
AS I LAY UNDER BOLLARDS OF RUBBLE
UNABLE TO MOVE OR BREATHE.
WHO WILL COMFORT MY MOTHER
AS SHE GRIEVES OVER
HER THREE SONS AND ME.
WILFORD BARKER.

really cool write Wilford! I'm sure heaven grieves as well for our poor choices! ............................................................Jim
Tearfully so..
‘Beyond expressions.
If ever there were a time to look to God!
Thank you for your comments Jim.
These words hit hard Wilford...personally I find it hard to recognise a god who cares or a great plan...I sometimes scream out at the indifferent void and the awful powerlessness of observing humans...the last six lines here cut my heart. Great work x
The way we treat each other on this planet is so horrible.. because of the color of skin, hair, language, sexual orientation, height, size, weight, gender.. and the foolish reasons goes on and on. We miss the most important reason to show love.
"We are all human beings."
Thanks for reading and comments Marion.
Hello Wilford...
People want blessings after they voice a strong downfall of a Nation...
If I were them I'd just forget about God...
Just stay with and give their all love and focus to their Daddy Satan...
It's better than to fight against something you don't believe in...
That's just entirely a waste of time...
Their hearts are against God anyway...
They really don't have to worry about getting to Heaven and having to deal with God at all...
They made Satan happy...
I don't understand why they don't ignore the believers and stay their own path...
It's not a gender thing...
You don't have that many choices to choose...
It's not that hard...
They pay more attention to what believers believe then they focus on their own truths...
If I'm Hellbound why would I think about Heaven?
That wouldn't make any sense at all...
Be like planning a trip to Jamaica and putting all your focus on Brazil...
THERE'S LOTS AND LOTS OF THEM...
If they don't believe in either side...
The choice will be made for them...
That's too much element of surprise for me...
Great write!
Thank you for sharing...

That’s a very interesting take Sparrowsong.
I need to revisit your comments again
to get a better understanding.
