Only Human [POEM]

Take a long look back into the history books,
Nothing has changed but our technological looks.
We hide behind the fact that we can not fail,
But to who do we look down to when we are frail?

We live each day in fear of the unknown,
Knowing that someday we will die alone.
With war we bring nothing but blood,
To this world we live in, our tears will flood.

Hypnotized by fear we fight our wars,
Blinded by greed we ignore our sores.
Killing others for our very own gain,
In the end we all pay with pain.

The sight of explosions envelop our eyes,
Our ears overpowered with young soldier cries.
The battle is over but the war is not won,
With more yet to die and nowhere to run.

The faint expression on a young soldiers' face,
As he falls to the ground he seeks embrace.
Nothing good can come from this hell,
War is forever, peace has now fell.

The time for change was years ago,
The feeling of revenge is an undertow.
What has been done we can not change,
What this world has come to is almost strange.

Is the earliest post and unless OP can confirm he is user ilanea this is a rip, give credit next time.

That poem is rather beautiful. It's drowning in truth, but it's rather negative. I think if it was longer and the plot of the poem changed to positivity it would be better. For example it can start off all negative, pointing out the obvious flaws with humanity, then it can go into the middle section with the reasons human beings use to condone their actions, then we can move into suggestive/positive breaks, where they can say what the human race is about, survival, instinct etc.

Overall though it's a good poem.

nice man but to bad am not a much of a poem guy but by reading it words actually makes sense and sound's pretty good so good work.

Nice poem keep up the great work.
