    Look behind you

     Just look behind you,
    And all you'll see,
    Is pure distruction,
    That was given to us
    From those who promised Freedom.
    And now that we are free,
    What is left ?
    But barren deserts
    And abondoned abodes.
    We died in vain,
    We died for some stranger.
    Why is this so ?
    We fought for no land
    But defended our own...
    We died stupidly,
    Cause we're so naive...
    All we knew throughout the years
    Was slavery and sorrow.
    Slavery that bound us in chains,
    And death that quickly came.

    A sincere and true reflection of what is happening in many parts of the World now: Iraq, Palestine, Afghanistan just to name few. State terror bred terror. Freedom is a lie and a joke. Big powers are enslaving and robbing poor nations in the name of democracy, freedom and equality. This is what your poem is about.

    I believe that this is the reality too, sadly. Thank you for your comment.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
