200,000 POEMS ~ R.M. Engelhardt

200,000 POEMS

200,000
Poems about Hate
Death & War & Who’s
Right or who’s wrong
Does not equal the
Amount of the dead or
Even the horror or grief
Of the human soul or
The atrocities of it

The dead are dead
The living are the living
And the hate of human beings
Towards other human beings
Is still the result of ignorance
& the over-used tool of religions
Ancient or new
That separate
Us all as a species

As a tribe

That causes most of
Our world’s issues

That causes even more poets
To write 200,000 more
Poems about love & peace
& harmony

That are never all fully read
Or understood

Ignored or thrown away
In the winds of emotion

In rememberance
In sadness
In anger

Saying :

There’s something wrong
With this insane world
There’s something wrong
With us

When the problem has
Always been humanity

Itself

But?

We keep on writing poems
Anyways

Anyhow

Believing that
Somehow one-day
That we can all
Somehow stop it all

All the hate
All the violence
And all the death

With one single solitary poem
That touches the very soul

Of an entire world

Making them all say

” No More “
