Ill ...will...

Ill …will… 

 

Deliberate acts meant to bring on

The pain, death… and tragedy…

Unleashing an evil force…

Time and again…

All throughout history… 

 

Ill …will… 

 

Seeking vengeance

…for previous transgressions… 

War paint …and death songs…

Battle cries

…heard all through our lives…

Recalling past …wrongs…

angry... again... 

to appease the spirits... 

there must be...

blood on the ground

and... 

smoke

...on the winds... 

 

ill ...will... 

 

after the lives of the fallen 

are dressed up 

remembered for who they are...

people they loved

...are still calling... 

but, they answer, no more... 

vengence calls more souls... 

back ...into the void... 

 

ill ...will...

 

Rain… keeps falling…

Cleansing the blood soaked grounds

Suns rise …suns set…

We hear babies cries

…will they remember…

The love …lost…

…and the cherished times

Will they forget …the horrors

…and the crimes… 

 

ill ...will... 

 

Over the battlegrounds…

Death reigns…

People who can…

move on…

Long after

the fires die out

Ashes remain

…of life before…

Loving words

…actions engaged, 

promises made…  

...the changes done…

 

Ill …will…

 

Having a voice

…making your choice…

Thinking

…if the tables were turned…

What would you do…

Will it erase the sorrow 

Of yesterday

…today,

Or tomorrow…

Will it come back to you

 Once again…

Will this never end…

 

Ill …will…

Despite the ill will of left ashes, the spiralling smoke rises on in the blood flow of memory...nourishing the spirit with the beautiful exlixer that quenches the thrist of ill will. I have discovered that while the physical has passed on, the spirit remains in the heart, mind and soul. Stop, look and listen; and you will feel the presence. Peace and Love, mlowe5

We are blessed. Just feeling the fullness of Love. A father before I was two; a mother in my late manhood; two sons. My blood flow of memory flows with tears of joy. And yours wil too! Peace and Love, Millard Lowe (aka, mlowe5).

RonnieL, thank you... much respect, had to drop some shade ...on the revolving door ...of hatred... and war... on war ...after war...
