 Contemporary poetry by Dan Donlan

FREE DERRY PROMPT 24


Strength is not gained
by the spread of an Armies wings
But the kindness in an open heart
Control is not gained as respect
When allowed imprisonment and walls
But by removing the pain of the innocent
A starving man hides in the shadows of hatred
Unseen by the uncaring masses
As the Angels of strength battle wings folded
Arms sent forward instead of wisdom of understanding
For the winners still die in uneasy death
For in the end there is left only forgotten wealth
For they must meet they thy maker
Who knows not hatred but love
Those honoring wealth and property
Have not the heart to know
The difference between pain and passion
Release those wings of bondage
Throw down the might of weapons
Raise those from the depots of your imprisonment
For a kiss on the hand in weeping
Is less than a kiss on the cheek of despair
Warriors release your love for all mankind
And enter the Kingdom of who is the real God
A loving God of all faiths and healing
And end in peace all these endless wars
