CHAOS
Ten years until chaos begins!
That was the news from Tony Blair.
Due to environmental sins
We'll trash our 'home' beyond repair!
I want to speak but he is gone;
And with him everything he said.
Instead there is a pretty one
Who tells us many more are dead.
There was another "Columbine".
Some hundreds more die in Iraq,
Afghanistan and Palestine;
So many more I can't deep track.
Those millions dying we can see
Because there's not enough to eat
Are less than with obesity.
So sad; I need another treat.
Switch to another pretty face
Informing us about our stocks
Though few have access to this place
Where it's well known that money talks.
The government had to get tough
On those who listened to its song
That millions more are not enough.
Why need it tell them they were wrong?
The war on terror is a bust
Another blond distraction states.
With Bush now 'dead' who do we trust;
Who'll be the next the world all hates.
Tony I'd say, "I could go on;
I think you're wrong about the year.
The infotainment's just a con.
The chaos is already here".

Ah, now this happy month is gone, not now, my heart, complain, nor rail at time because so soon he takes his own again. He takes his own, the week, the hours, but leaves the best with thee;seeds of imperishable flowers in fields of memory

In fields of memory.
I am not sure who wrote this poem you left as a comment. As far as I can tell it has nothing to do with chaos but says everything there is to say about a life spent. Doug.E.Barr
this poem is so amazing and true... im a 19 year old native american from minnesota my mom works at the red lake high school and she was there on the day all those kids died. i would have been too and i would be dead today if i had gone with her like i had planned. we are in the time of native american prophacy and our mother is changing drasticly you can see it by the intensity of the storms she has produced. today people are so cought up in everyday life that they can not see what the world is doing. All this senseless killing is bieing tought to our future generation. my brothe was killed by a 14 year old boy a few years back for talking peace between to gangs. He was a sumester away from getting his major in economics at Harvard University. your poems are so beautiful thankyou. I write too or at least try to. lol :)

You seem to have a sense of what is happening and you have conveyed your thoughts effectively. The death of your brother, the peace talker, was a tragedy for you and for humanity. Thank you for sharing his story and yours. Doug.E.Barr
We all have Mr.Bush Senior to thank for that. I saw on a show once that they kept getting letters and phone calls telling him they would do something and he just blew it off as if it would never happen. He and his son did not care how many people were going to die.I just don't understand why the war is not yet over.I just don't get why our people are still over there. How many more families has to suffer thru grief before they let our troops come home? Everytime I think about what happened on 911 and think about how many people had their whole lives in front of them and got killed so early in life. I cry while my heart seems like it's going to bust thru my chest.
