Mother of us all

I walk a continent bloodstained by war
where one hates the other
and the other hates more;

I walk an earth infested with greed
where brother fights brother
for power they bleed;

the world is a daunting
hate riddled place
whilst the fist and the knife
carve a smile on your face

Passionate, with so few words - the last line a sadness. Great work Louis.

I love your honesty in here and your brut force. your words in here get to you with the truth and they will connect with you and you feel all the hurt and all the ignorance ( not the poem, but what the poem is about - some stupid people! ) ... this is really brilliant... good poem. very shocking. very straight forward.
