Breaking News...

Breaking News...

A shocking news - no one would believe
As she was talking - begging Wars to leave
Peace was gunned down - seriously at city hall
Why, in Conflict, she's the first to fall?

White dove, with a black band, came down to rest
The bird too, dropped olive branch, tried its best
Love, O as a heart, faded, cracked and crumbled
Humanity, one more time, rose up but tumbled.

Drugs and oil overflow, flooding every street
Wars drive on, blasting anything they meet
Families, children, homeless, flee to the wood
Without Peace, that won't do the world any good.

So sad but true...

Thank you โอ๋-อโณ : I was sad too. I had in mind 'romancing 21C' when I wrote this poem. But news of depressing natures soon put me back to thoughts of violence and fear.

Not only our moods are changed, we are also held back from the Rise of Humanity.

เสียงปืนดังซ้ำซ้ำย้ำความเศร้า

เรื่องเก่าเก่าสงครามสนามรบ

พิราบขาวกิ่งโอลีฟและจุดจบ

กับทำนบน้ำตาทารกน้อ

เสียงปืนดังซ้ำซ้ำย้ำความเศร้า

เรื่องเก่าเก่าสงครามสนามรบ

พิราบขาวกิ่งโอลีฟและจุดจบ

กับทำนบน้ำตาทารกน้อย

Thank you นิ่ม : I like your summary (in poem). But when I saw breaking news about 'Clinton back on campaign trail', I just couldn't help using that title 'Breaking News' for this poem about wars and battles around the world. No one sees wars breaking out as breaking news anymore. Sad!
