    Poem Commentary

    "The Battle Still Rages" presents an observation of the battle being fought to create a single world government to rule the world and invites consideration as to the divisive strategies used to justify the creation of this new world order,

    The Battle Still Rages

    Latest reports tell us what to fear

    Women fear rape

    Children fear men

    Men fear each other

    The world has gone to hell

    Differences tear our world apart

    But ask from where these messages really start

     

    Media mouthpiece

    Government voice

    Race, religion, class and crime

    Devices used to deride and divide

    They don’t want us happy with what we’ve got

    Because each promoted fear holds their new order up

    We make them money and we keep them strong

    With every niggah pushing lyric in our gangsta songs

     

    Keeping up with the Jones’s spiritually wrong

    What will it take to make your mind strong

    Turn off the TV and open both eyes

    Because seeing with one won’t help you get past the lies

    Find joy in your heart and you can’t go wrong

    Live life in faith and your joy will be long

    Find things in common with your fellow man

    Because only this will defeat THEM and their master plan

    Thanks Alexander. What is your art? As you say, we are beings of mind and body. the mind often synonymous to the soul. Most train only one part of the "self" not realising how much more they are. Today we are living in difficult times and in my write The Architect you see where my observations take me, Thanks for posting.

    you've got a very big important message in there. Glad to see people still view the division as a weapon and aren't just stuck in their newest electronic toy. Thank you for sharing this.

    All the wars currently being fought are between "us" and "them", yet the people on the street in the name of whom these battles are being fought are as hospitable and warm as their leaders are hostile. For every individual that stays silent gives the powers of collectivity more influence...

    I sincerely enjoyed this poem. I agree that Unity is the only way to successfully overcome these obstacles. Yet, I don't see it happening because humans are too concerned about the flaws in everyone.

    flaws reinforce our humanity and the fact we focus on them means there is still hope of repelling the forces collectivity and cultural homogenisation. The more we talk and share and express ourselves the more hope there will be.

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
