Poems and Rhymes Exploring War, Soldiers, Politics, Animals, Insanity, Faith and Love. Perry PhD Ritthaler

      My little sister and I do not know what to do about the war

      We are all alone in this empty house and we cry even more

      I feel hungry and the food we have left us will not last

      The night passes fast; we awaken hungry and eat fast

      The city close to us is on fire as black smoke rises into the sky

      The beautiful blue sky is full of smoke, clouds sent way up high

      We have one friend to phone but the phone is dead

      I am afraid to walk far in case I catch a stray bullet in my head

      A week has passed and I cry when I think of my papa that died

      I miss my mom who would help me when I cried

      My love for my mom is so strong that I need to see where she rests

      As I go to the grave I see kids with bullet wounds in their chests

      I cry when I go into the graveyard to visit my momma’s grave

      This is the only symbol of my family that I have left to save

      The pieces of papa soon rotted in the heat of the yard

      Watching the flies and insects eat my papa’s parts felt hard

      Now we have no more school and barely food to eat

      Most days we spend playing in the war-torn street

      When I grow up I will avenge my papa’s death through war

      Someday I will grow big and strong and settle the score

      Who Destroyed My Children and Family

      I take a picture of the powerful men as they enter the room

      Their minds colored with death, faces filled with groom and doom

      They have created a war to build democracy in the Middle East

      With a lust for killing, on the dead bodies they feast

      Telling lies with no compromise they wield their power

      Terrified souls waiting overseas hour by hour

      Families running scared trying to find a safe place to hide

      Listening to the radio hearing how so many have lied

      Women and little children are about to die over oil prices

      War created devastation building a human rights crisis

      Fighting a dictator who wants the euro more than the dollar

      working through the UN trying to create his dog collar

      The powerful ones calling him an evil man

      Smearing his name globally wherever they can

      Building terrorism propaganda to scare a nation

      Determined to send a country overseas and creating damnation

      Telling the world he is a danger to every living soul

      Playing the innocent one protecting the world is their role

      Lies of weapons of mass destruction cause fear in a nation

      Set on a track of high gas prices building financial damnation

      Families torn apart treated like old rags thrown away

      So many children will die as war fills the days

      Pain and suffering fill many hearts torn apart

      Wondering why this illegal war was created from the start

      Forcing a dictator to fight for his people and land

      Invasion to steal his oil is what the government has planned

      Afraid of the wealth and power created by the Middle East

      Concerned one day Israel may die and be a Middle East feast

      Wars created in Iraq, Lebanon and Palestine were the plan

      Finishing in Afghanistan, cover it up by fighting the terrorism man

      Pulling the wool over the eyes of the world while doing war crimes

      Thousands killed through war in these evil times

      Building a war to kill Muslims forcing Christianity into a fight

      Sending the multicultural world into a holy war overnight

      People invaded with no place in the world to turn

      Watching people die and a country explode and burn

      Wars ravaging souls and tearing them apart

      Forced into creating moves of desperation from the start

      Suicide bombers to fight war planes from a foreign land

      Creating retaliation for the war crimes that they planned

      Praying to Allah for the strength to fight for their land

      So many souls die every day in the blowing sand

      Thousands of woman and children died

      Because of the evil politicians who have lied

      So many will fight the people who create the war

      That is the goal as the evil ones cover crimes that soar

      Death and fear fill the world in people’s minds

      Running to the tune of crooked politicians makes us blind

      Afraid of everyone around us, creating insecurity through fear

      Covering up the killing of those you loved and held dear

      Fueling military enrollment and power that will not bend

      Republicans build government debts that will never end

      Filling the pockets of oil tycoons at the top

      Toppling the average citizen by corporations that will not stop

      Government debts borrowed to raise oil prices for a few at the top

      War companies creating employment that will not stop

      Cover up the employment crisis created by poor policy at the start

      Sending employment offshore kills the country’s heart

      No jobs means no government taxation

      Finding taxes through higher gas prices leads to damnation

      Today the world calms down and we all forget those that died

      The governments have changed as have those who lied

      Left are the high debts and all the casualties that died

      Stupid politicians with the plan that made so many who cried

      Running a country creating employment and taxation is the plan

      The Republicans created a new meaning for the words stupid man

      They should have changed the law limiting the corporation’s greed

      Enacted
