The Weeping Moon Comments

Rating: 4.5

Witnessing the blood baths, the massacre
Of God’s people, children’s bodies everywhere,
And octogenarians expire slowly and quietly in horror.
The undistorted and the vivid images of terror,

For some people, television is a medium that lends itself to passivity and detachment, perhaps because their hearts are closed to begin with. The ubiquity of hellish media reports has not rendered you numb. Your strong moral voice needs to be heard.

I agree with the logic of your words. I wonder if God is watching? Murdered children, hungry children and homeless people. Powerful words shared.

The ugly state of world affairs - man inhumanity to man, is insightfully captured in the poem. Profound piece of poetry with clarion call for universal brotherhood of man. Lovely poem indeed. Thanks for sharing Hebert.

Truly, terrorism and violent activities are ruining our existence on earth and we, humans, with the power of wisdom, claiming superiority over the animal kingdom act as inferior animals.

Pregnant women, their babies shredded By the wrecked fires of the big guns. Really globe should come out soon from such ism called terrorism....White or Black, state-sponsored or organised by hate to state-machinery. Terrorism should immediately be graved by any doctrine of cultivating love-power placing at its alter. High time to save civilization.

Not even the poet's lament and descriptive words and accusations can tame the savage beast that lives hidden in man's inhuman breast.Man's inhumanity to Man, Robert Burns However, as poets, we must try, and for every human injustice put out a cry. Thank you, Hebert Logerie.

sad situation! but what right do these peace keeping countries have to go to the foreign lands with their big machines and technology to destroy their homes, men, women and children. Our men, from both sides, don't have to sacrifice their life, we want them to be safe. Individualistic act of hurting is called as terrorism, what shall we call this atrocity of mass killing in the name of war? Yes, their crescent moon weeps, our full moon weeps, someone's new moon weeps too.10+++

The reality expressed here should be placed before the leaders of nations everyday - too often disengaged from the horrors of war! A forceful journey of truth without the spin and glory attached. Excellent write. Thank You.
