Blood on my hands, bright red and warm
Where is it from , sticky thick . Have I caused harm?
It runs slowly down my fingers then drips on to the sand.
Where am I , alone here with blood on my hand.
You are guilty it is your fault all your doing
The machine of war keeps turning all hell ensuing
You can carry all the blame, look at this world you have built
Never mind the blood on your hands there are gallons more you’ve spilt.
Who are you to blame me,
Show yourself , reveal your face let me see.
Why me, what have I done to have blood on my hands.
I have done nothing , I do not wage war I don’t make stands.
You are guilty it is your fault all your doing
The machine of war keeps turning all hell ensuing
You can carry all the blame, look at this world you have built
Never mind the blood on your hands there are gallons more you’ve spilt.
I am no one just an ordinary woman, I have never hurt anyone
I have never have I killed so why is there blood on my hands
Why am I here, this empty place, dirty under this sun
I need to wash this blood from my hands.
You are guilty it is your fault all your doing
The machine of war keeps turning all hell ensuing
You can carry all the blame, look at this world you have built
Never mind the blood on your hands there are gallons more you’ve spilt.
I am your conscience, your last chance
Take off your blindfolds and stop the devils dance
Love each other, share what you have for a change
Before it is too late , have compassion. That is not so strange.

I have more empathy and compassion than you could possibly know. What is this about? Is it a threat of some sort? Are you the person who was involved with my estranged ‘housewife”? Even if so, I hold no malice towards you and I am quite confused by your very….bloody poem-especially after receiving death threats last week. Was that you as well? Not that I wil ‘rat’ you out, it is not my way, not to mention I am eight hours away. Perhaps you have me confused with someone else? If you need to talk, I will listen, but just as a disclaimer, while safe with me, it is probably not wise to send such violent posts to other people on here. Cheers-M

Hello M well, hum, I am not entirely sure if you are pulling my leg or not. I have decided to assume you are not teasing and explain that this a poem about the guilt we all ( as humankind) carry for the wars, poverty and famine and desecration of our planet. I am saying we all have blood on our hands and we should listen to our consciences, being totally idealistic I know , as the world will never change humans are too selfish.
So no, this was a personal slight on you I do not know you or your ‘estranged housewife’. I have never threatened anyone in my life so this is not a personal death treat, lets be clear it is no treat death or any kind to anyone. I hope most people will see this as a poem, …. I suspect you are laughing now …anyway have a great week!

Bloody hands … quite apropos!! … 253+ mass shootings since Jan. 2019 …
Aug 08, 2019 @ 20:07:21
Well this just goes to show nothing changes, I wrote thid in 2015 and it’s still relevant. Thank you for the reblog 💜
Aug 08, 2019 @ 20:08:09
In total agreement!! You are most welcome … 🙏🏽 … thx for writing your poem!! 💞
Aug 08, 2019 @ 20:12:06
It’s such a sad world , we seem like we are all headed to hell in a hand cart . Such awful things happening here in the UK too. 💜
Aug 08, 2019 @ 20:16:00
I can barely begin to imagine. I’m from Puerto Rico, the USA colony … there’s significant conflict in my tiny country. I’ve
always felt a connection to the UK … don’t know why.
I feel the world is ‘upside down’ … there are evil forces wanting to upend things. Quite concerning.
Brexit, Boris, Nigel … never imagined!! 😳
Aug 08, 2019 @ 20:19:06
I know and now machete attacks on police, shootings and stabbings are daily occurances here …so very very sad. I hope you stay safe and well
Aug 08, 2019 @ 20:22:05
I’m safe! I’m well. I’m home … going back to Florida late this month. Then traveling back and forth.
You stay safe too!! 🇬🇧

Who’d think we would be this shocked by the violence on our so called civilized streets .
Aug 08, 2019 @ 20:46:59
Never in my lifetime! I’m very happy I am the age I am … not too much to go! If I were a youngster, millennial … it’d be disheartening! 😢 … yet things are accelerating. May be a witness to destruction, etc!
Aug 08, 2019 @ 20:49:50
Yes it is so sad, I fear for my grandchildren, I fear for my children too. I am getting on too, but I fear the future still.
Aug 08, 2019 @ 20:52:08
Yes! I understand … kids and grands … their future!! 😢
Aug 08, 2019 @ 20:56:33
It’s so dark .
Aug 08, 2019 @ 20:58:22
It seems to be dark everywhere. I wonder if it was always like this and we didn’t know. We know now bc the world is smaller due to instant news, techno and the web.
Look at us … you in the UK, me in PR!! So many miles apart!!
Aug 08, 2019 @ 21:04:10
Yes indeed I do believe it have always be so but not quite as bad. There has always been evil but as you say these days it is out there immediately world wide. As you say nothing is divided you and I , not miles, time or space! Still I feel things are getting worse .
Aug 08, 2019 @ 21:13:25
My dear friend … sending a tight, Taíno, Hispanic hug! 🤗
Aug 08, 2019 @ 21:21:05
Thank you and I send you back as near to the same as I can manage, and I must bid you good night as it is gone 11pm and I am tired . Be safe on those streets.😏
Aug 08, 2019 @ 21:24:25
TY!! No worries … I’m far away from those streets!! Good night … 💤
Aug 08, 2019 @ 21:25:53
Good night as far as I know, I am too 💜
