How amazing is
the dark!
While you're sleeping in your bed
As you dream of angels flying
While the demon's at your head!
While you're sleeping in your bed
As you dream of angels flying
While the demon's at your head!
There is just
no justifying
For the options at my hand
And a conscious that's denying
By your side is laying dead
For the options at my hand
And a conscious that's denying
By your side is laying dead
It comes more
and more surprising
As the ground is painted red
And a lustful passion rising
Coloring shades upon your bed!
As the ground is painted red
And a lustful passion rising
Coloring shades upon your bed!
I hold you
close within my arms
Whispering softly in your ears
I will make your heart my charm
And decorate the sky with tears
Whispering softly in your ears
I will make your heart my charm
And decorate the sky with tears
Let me sing you
a sweet lullaby
To calm away your chocking fear
To calm away your chocking fear
"Close
your eyes & go to sleep
There will be no more pain
Close your eyes I'll keep you safe
From a world that's so...insane"
There will be no more pain
Close your eyes I'll keep you safe
From a world that's so...insane"
I feel
that this poem fits well with our topic of terror and fear. This poem talks about how “Demons are in people’s
heart” and that people are monster. We
really are. We kill others for not agreeing with what we
want. We kill others about beliefs that
we think are right and they think are wrong. When there is a murder, the government needs
to “sing you a sweet lullaby” so that we don’t cause chaos and a panic. We kill
because we can…. And people are starting to enjoy it.
The
murder rate is
extremely high. As of 2013, there were
2.5 million murders in the USA alone.
That doesn’t account for other countries. The
rate has gone down from previous years; however the population has skyrocketed
so there were proportionately more murders in 2013 then 1990. The numbers will just keep skyrocketing if we
don’t do something to cause this.
Terrorism and the USA
The
United States government is doing everything they can to protect the
people. They have set up divisions in
the government dedicated to locating and eliminating threats to the government
(Homeland Security). They have spent
hundreds of thousands of hours with the FBI trying to
locate and eliminate threats. Their only goal is to try to keep US safe. However, in order for them to be 100%
effective, we need to remain strong when there is a terrorist attack.
This poem is very strong and reminds me of the one I found coming from a victim of an attack in Kenya territories. This is the link to the poem. http://www.wsj.com/articles/BL-SEB-77177

ReplyDeleteI've been into writing poetry as a hobby since I was 9 years. My writings are amateur's and I only do it because I love to not actually intending it Read more → It was not written by a professional poet, however I feel it was one of the strongest poems i read for a long time.
Thank you for answering my question and yes indeed this poem is very powerful. It made me wonder about life in general and all of the things that go on everyday. Great choice!
ReplyDeleteThe author of the poem did not have the attempt to rhyme, by more or less get there point across. The act of death can be brought on any at anytime. Its the influences that depend on how we act on it
