"And Now I See"

[AxelVIII]

I was once Deaf,

I was once Blind.

All I could hear were children laughing,

All I could see was everyone around me, Happy.

I am no longer Deaf,

I hear the screams of the Dying, and the cries of those who have lost,

I see the bloodshed of those who fight for a false "God" or a corrupt Government.

I tire of seeing the aftermath of a battle, where a child stands next to a casket as it is lowered into the ground,

with tears in their eyes as someone whispers 

"It will be alright".

Short and sweet.

 

 

Only thing is "here" instead of "hear" in the third line. And maybe break up the last line a bit more to give more punch to the quote, but it's been so long since I've written poetry I don't even know.

 

Is there anything in particular that brought this on, or just some general musings?

[AxelVIII]

Thank you. And thank you for letting me know of my error Actually, right now I can't figure out what brought this on, but it just clicked in my head, and I just had to get it down.

He's just plain nuts lol, imagine one of those monkeys in his head with those symbols things, dunno how to spell the instrument version but yes those, just clapping away at his brain constantly, so anything could happen! But on a more serious note it's quite good and I usually hate poetry

i hear you, the real world is a nightmare

[AxelVIII]

Screw you Dark, I'm not crazy, you know that......I'm Insane!!lol. But anyways, thanks for the compliment.

 

@xZulu, yep, that is exactly my point.
