My 'Shit-Holes' Shit

My 'Shit-Holes' Shit by A Hurting Human

A hostage to your sanctions, another unconsidered pawn
Affected, dejected, clean water, food, safety, medicine, gone.
You hate my government, my state, mine solely by birth,
By proxy I get your hate, simply another child of the Earth.
When will the Valkyries Ride? Destroying so many lands before.
When will your bombs darken our sky? Your boots hit our shore?
Remember, a child unappeased, who doesn’t receive via a fit
Its stupidity overwhelms then, “the poor little shit!”

Our resources, our control, the reason for anewed “concern”,
Don't equate to our children being bloodied, broken and or burned.
Wagner’s taping, catching attention, raising his wand,
Under the rain, everyone I know, unfortunately also born not blond.
Zero differentiation genetically, other than the meaningless, the cosmetic
For my shit-holes shit you’ll kill us one and all, sans care or anesthetic.
Your wants, needs, thoughts, your flights of fiction or fact
Are no different to everyone else’s, yet you’re ignorant of this fact!

The idiotic, armed by beliefs of "more deserving", “better than”.
Our differences, culture, used as ammo, in each step of a set plan.
The restrictions imposed to my flag won’t bring a switch,
Except for us from “okish” to fighting to drink out of a ditch.
Hungry, without power, nor the power to in anyway adapt.
Those you’re hunting, their resources remain barely tapped.
I’ve witnessed your hunger, your foreign policy’s clutch,
In the crosshairs, me and my like, are never in for a gentle touch.

Where do I turn when nowhere near is any nearer to better?
How do I dream when all I can hope for is a little clean water?
The hooves, the thunder, the affected, those seeing only with hate,
We’re Humans, yet there’s no concern of those already the late.
No thought for us Humans now, and or those soon to be dead.
Your only global concern, your bottom line, is away from the red.
These embargoes stand against 30 countries or territories Worldwide,
Our only crime for lack of basic needs, happenstance for which we cannot hide!

Ouch! It hits the heart, where it really hurts.
Thanks, in such pain the flames of the soul's plight awaken, ablaze. :fire:
And for a moment, in prayer, in thought, in sentiment, as one we embrace. :heart: :pray:

You wrote this (it's not a quote)?

If so, nicely done. An elegant howl. You've got good uninhibited momentum.

When will the Valkyries Ride?

I don't know when the Valkyries will ride, but you might want to add another post, in prose where you ask or propose something political in philosophical terms, or one of the moderators (our valkyries) will be circling over head about to claim that your post wasn't "philosophical".

I think there are several questions in it,

Perhaps they serve as propositions.

Reply to BrianW I liked Peters' post; I'd just hate to see it squelched by one of the less imaginative moderators. Names need not be named.

But yes, the sentence you called out struck me also as a substantial problem statement.

I don't know where to turn

Quoting Robert Peters
when nowhere near is any nearer to better


And congrats on rhyming couplets. It's all good.

Reply to BrianW Thank you for your time and comment. Yes, it isn't exactly a simple or complex statement, but I feel the philosophy which we live in are the problem here. Mine is towards Humanism, but within that I see how a Human can be eliminated by either not caring or not at all considering them in their philosophy.
My hopes were to show how these incorrectly and unjustly are harming those who want a long enough existence to find a philosophy which fits for them.


Good luck out there
