How often we impose on our fellow man
By simply robbing him blind, of his wares
Exploitation, abuse, since time first began
Yet, you still wonder why, nobody cares

Sunlight shines, an empty shrine
Casts shadows, on pavement, dark
There is not another soul in sight
The land lays silent, vacant, stark
Fences guard, who was once kept there
No access to the mortal human being
For only spirits know the true secrets
To release his soul, forever freeing
Listen, in quiet solitude, and wait
Though you may never hear a sound
Their presence fills this empty void
With a noise, that is quite profound

A
Bugler
Sadly blows
Musical strains
Of magic through brass
Plays a soldier’s lament
For those who battled for us
Triumphant, though many were not
He honors those who never came home
True heroes, on foreign soils, laid to rest

When night falls, after a long hard day
And we no longer wish to schmooze
We find ourselves a real comfy spot
Lay our heads down and just snooze

The lovely Helene of Willow Poetry has challenged us with “What do you See?”. You may write a poem, haiku, tanka or short story that represents what you see or feel within you. More info can be found in the link below.
She holds her head high, so proudly
This woman, who has colored the lands
In hues of pink, and yellow, and green
With simply a raise of her hands
Summoning the sun, over mountains
She sees the flowers dance with mirth
Giddy, like a child, she laughs along
She has given new life, to the Earth
