Hateful Ignorance

I took a creative writing class one semester and wrote some poems.

Hateful Ignorance

American soldiers were killed yesterday

And more were killed today.

Innocent lives are being stolen by

false martyrs every day, in malls,

Train stations, hotels and even mosque.

How did this war come so far?

Muslim lives are being stolen, making t

Their own motherland a prison, a grave.

Places where children once played are now

Fields f abandoned cars, exploded bomb prints

And broken glass.

Hateful ignorance

Made then fear their own homes and shops

Put doubt in their hearts

Who to believe?

Where to go?

First Afghanistan, then Iraq , now

Pakistan, when is this heartless war going to end?

Let the young soldiers go home and leave

The innocent families alone.

Give the world a rest,

Before there is no one to

Even fight this restless war.
