#jemoh - Hello Poetry

Encroaching on my personal space I am Bombarded by these images Children with hopes Dashed No links to the outside world Always under constant threat Rubber bullets flying, Tears running from the gassed air Vision blurred A memory of what they never had Forces keep creeping in The boarders keep retreating inwards No longer settled, should they settle for less The settlements all around them Rapidly they are moving but who is to stop them He who dare risks the draconian approach of Goliath Little David with his sling and stone Wont Match the might and force wielded upon him There is no escape from the eagle eye of Goliath forces Peace is only considered achievable by constant aggression Dissent calls for harsher treatments They have essentially been brought as slaves within their tuff The walls surrounding them, Locking them in They have to settle for less Constant harassment and humiliation is the order of the day The bus stops They've got to set down Awaiting verification No pass means no pass! Those deemed unsuitable have to settle for a return to the human cage Senselessly caged like hens Not to be set loose and free For them freedom is an illusion The desired but unattainable Shall we sit idle? Their hopes and dreams rest on our shoulders We must challenge the status quo.

Settlements

Encroaching on my personal space I am Bombarded by these images Children with hopes Dashed No links to the outside world Always under constant threat Rubber bullets flying, Tears running from the gassed air Vision blurred A memory of what they never had Forces keep creeping in The boarders keep retreating inwards No longer settled, should they settle for less The settlements all around them Rapidly they are moving but who is to stop them He who dare risks the draconian approach of Goliath Little David with his sling and stone Wont Match the might and force wielded upon him There is no escape from the eagle eye of Goliath forces Peace is only considered achievable by constant aggression Dissent calls for harsher treatments They have essentially been brought as slaves within their tuff The walls surrounding them, Locking them in They have to settle for less Constant harassment and humiliation is the order of the day The bus stops They've got to set down Awaiting verification No pass means no pass! Those deemed unsuitable have to settle for a return to the human cage Senselessly caged like hens Not to be set loose and free For them freedom is an illusion The desired but unattainable Shall we sit idle? Their hopes and dreams rest on our shoulders We must challenge the status quo.

A cry for the little young ones Born in the world without care Hopes dashed the moment the set foot out It's so cold out there with no one to comfort them Nor catapult them into the sky above RIP to the dreams they once had Those dreams lay restless in pieces Tormenting their inner peace with what could have been It's a constant cycle, their vision clouded by nightmares Who's out there to shine bright Be a lighthouse that guides those who stray This world ain't just for those young ones It drags them down reducing them to lowly creatures Be without care of another and another Another mother without a son or daughter Why can't we engender love for the human race Loyalty, honour and respect is all that is needed Yet we go the wrong way attaining it We can't let them down now Their glory rests on our shoulder We just can't stay enclosed Unwrap the shackles The future stars shine brighter Keep our gaze on the horizon Never look down Now is the time for the young soul to be exalted

The little young ones

A cry for the little young ones Born in the world without care Hopes dashed the moment the set foot out It's so cold out there with no one to comfort them Nor catapult them into the sky above RIP to the dreams they once had Those dreams lay restless in pieces Tormenting their inner peace with what could have been It's a constant cycle, their vision clouded by nightmares Who's out there to shine bright Be a lighthouse that guides those who stray This world ain't just for those young ones It drags them down reducing them to lowly creatures Be without care of another and another Another mother without a son or daughter Why can't we engender love for the human race Loyalty, honour and respect is all that is needed Yet we go the wrong way attaining it We can't let them down now Their glory rests on our shoulder We just can't stay enclosed Unwrap the shackles The future stars shine brighter Keep our gaze on the horizon Never look down Now is the time for the young soul to be exalted

My heart has been dragged out By the revelations Why did it have to be by you I invested all but this is what I got in return Your love must have been like the Enron shares As for me it reported negative equity Was it a Ponzi scheme designed to rob me to pay to Others! How about little Kittens I hope it meant something? But to be robbed of adoration Just *****
