London Microscope

Pyramid

There’s blood in the water
And stink in the air
A hatred devours all the peace we could share
Perhaps the biggest tragedy
Is the reason why
We only speak to each other
When nightmares come alive.

I dream of the day
When all corners become round
When all cities stop shaking
When god lies down
Nothing falls faster
Than a child for belief
Don’t let them grow up
Worshipping anything but peace.

How can divinity
Offer a long after-life
For crimes against the innocent
This wasted time?
Why follow fading lights
So bright that they blind?

Should we be angry?
Fuck yes we should!!
If it happens overseas
It’s our neighbourhood
Walk the streets at night
Free to fall for this town.

A burning love will always
Itch under our skin
Allow this to surface
Pull retrospect forwards
Don’t let hatred seep in...

I agree .... it's sad.
One day it'll be an all out ground war
and in all honesty...
it doesn't seem like anyone wants to do anything about terrorism but the small select few of us......

Nice writing...;)

Amazing poem.

I dream of the day
When all corners become round
When all cities stop shaking
When god lies down
Nothing falls faster
Than a child for belief
Don’t let them grow up
Worshipping anything but peace.

this bit sent shivers down my spine. I have a lot of family who live in london, and its so sickening what happened, but nice to know people all around the world come together in times of need. Truly amazing poem. x x x
