For the Love of Why

For the Love of Why
by MrDaMan
Virgil R. Hall II (Randy)

As we stand trembling in the valley of fear.
Locked, cocked and ready to rock, dwelling upon the insistence of painful reality the light is darkened by doubt. Are you my brothers my Cain and my Able?

What fear, what love, what evil has furrowed your brow?
We hug our triggers and our hatred, our love spews death, our mothers are proud. We share this battlefield, this bed weve made, we splash our blood, it mingles in the land.

Soldiers, brothers we hate each other with love that kills,
embrace us till death do us part. We share this love of annihilation, of hatred, of our mothers, of conscience.

May the best men win and cry
as the worst of us die and sigh for the love of why.

Brilliantly sobering and absolutely great!

[BERSERKERpoetry]

This is very good. Real power and bite.

[Premedia]

Poets have a long tradition both extolling the virtues of the heroic warrior fighting the good fight and condemning senseless human carnage in the name of vain pursuits. Either way, art wins.

How can we call this humanity? We need to change the definition of the word.

Great work, MrDaMan. *****

its amazing, that instead of going foward, humanity has fallen behind!..thanks for the post

Word brother! I really see/hear the poignant message. Seems so natural lest we forget we are nature, just maybe one day morality will win out somehow, somewhere.

I like the video you put with this strong poem.

It's nuts isn't it? Powerful poem, disturbing.
