I don't know why I am not actually using my other thread but yeah... this thread and whatever I will put on it will be about war.... which is my main inspiration...

first poem!

history of war pt. 1

It started when man slid stone against stone
when jabbed to a man to death he moaned
men discovered a useful tool
thats the day it began its rule
a genius one discovered fire
now humanity is only dire
It started by hunting and getting meat
it did it in too much of a regular repeat
Then men happily discovered greed
we are the demons, we are indeed
leader of tribe was stabbed in chest
the assassin discovered the rest
as he took over the tribe with no hesitation
he took it without any real invitation
and discovered he could obtain more power
he started planning every hour
so he can take over more men and space
he made bad the human race

and so men discovered swords and spears
men discovered more ignorant fears
and started forming different and more complex tribes
men started killing, taking bribes
and one nice summer day
a man told another to obey
and another bad feature was added
the city tribes of men were flooded
with no rain but greed and war
nature shall never again adore
for a city wanted another cities space
and so it massacred an entire race
just to get some easy money
now no body thinks its funny
man came up with armed cavalry
this is one sad history
of how started nations to fight each-one another
now every body knows what a bother
the horrible situation we got ourselves in
the human race is nothing but mean
when a king enslaved his entire kingdom
humanity never knew a word called "freedom"

I like it velociraptor... The only thing that I don't like much is some long lines, like

and started forming different and more complex tribes

They are a bit annoying. In that case maybe it would be better removing "different" or "more complex".
But I totally fail at poetry, don't listen to my suggestion too much lol

Actually, gaboloth was right, that was a bit complicated and not in a very good way.

Anyway, I really like your poems. You should try free verse sometimes.

Remember, things don't always have to rhyme!

yeah... now waking actually waking up to discover what I did last night (and no, not getting drunk) I think I better fix it... the poems.... songs.... the piece of writing with me flailing about my sentences and describing how our world sucks....

yet again... here is a go at free versing (may god kill me now... I have no depressed inspiration... maybe I should delay this to 3am...)

Soldiers in the swamp
Mortars on the soldiers
getting ready to meeting
their nightmare threat
do not regret
the tinker sound of a nickle rifle
adores the man's stories
of war dolls played by generals
and bodies on the muddy floor
of a village that got covered
in fire and napalm
detonate destruction
for the ancestry of death

heheh I kinda liked that...


Tanks topple Tunisia
Iran fights Israel
armloads explode in distance
when soldiers' cries un heard
yet still mere death awaits
only guns, no glory
brother where are you
found dead in the mess
body thrashed in explosion
knees knit together with blood
dire scent of people dieing
souls stay within the mother's
cruel memories she cannot forget
of brother banned from the world
and little one laughing
manically for he
feels no agony of war

Whoa, that last one was very good.

Try your best to improve your spelling/punctuation/grammar etc.

Appearance is everything.

But the last one was very vivid, I really liked it.

blood, spitting on the floor
from the base of my chest
a bullet stuck between
A medic memorizing data
of how to heal a wounded man
that maybe already dead
and cautiously fearing
that the same situation
could further happen to him
and he is cornered in combat
with the reinforcements reaching
and the man threats to kill him
with a bullet to the chest
with blood spitting on the floor



not the best...
