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
