Feelings of Untold Conscience

by Jesse Allen, age 17, from Canada

Blood is spilling
Hate is filling
Power is corrupting
People are killing
Trees are dying
Poisoned soil
Chemicals of man
Bringing turmoil
Weapons of destruction
War of control
Leaves the world
Full of scarred holes
Shrouded by fear
Man takes the stage
Gun in hand
Full of rage
Field of destiny
Path laid down by fate
Being patriotic
Without a debate
Piercing the skin
Bullets of impurity
Stops the beating
Starting one's eternity

Born again
To be enslaved
Again to die
Never to be saved
