Blood of Poetry

Blood of a wound
Blood from sons
Sons of joy
Sons far apart
Apart in life
Apart by words
Words of truth
Words filled with lies
Lies ripping apart
Lies causing pain
Pain from suffering
Pain from trying
Trying to cope
Trying to survive
Survive for a goal
Survive for fun
Fun in the sun after a stressful year
Fun through the eyes of my children
Children of a loving mother
Children born of sin
Sin punished by death
Sin causing destruction
Destruction of life
Destruction of the world
World of peace
World filled with trouble
Trouble of the sea
Trouble by a thousand
Thousand men
Thousand reasons
Reasons to love
Reasons to run away
Away from the pain
Away from the tears
Tears of hunger and drought
Tears of prejudice
Prejudice by wealth
Prejudice by color
Color in the world
Color of my brush
Brush away those worries
Brush off the haters
Haters of your actions
Haters of your silence
Silence says what's meant
Silence speaks louder
Louder than poetry
Louder than echos
Poetry...
Echos...
