Ronovan Writes Sijo Wednesday Poetry Challenge #18. Use REGRET as your inspiration this week.

As part of Ronovanwrite’s Weekly Sijo this week I have written two separate Sijo. The first about regret about our dieing planet.

Regret

Why did we not say more, why did we not do more, to help.
We sorted the rubbish, measured the water, unplugged plugs.
Unfortunately time ran out, there’s no point to regret our planets demise.

My second Sigo is about the sun and the moon.

Fabulous painting by Sue Vincent.

The Race.

Standing on the edge of tomorrow bathed in nights silver
He felt regret, he was alone, she would be here soon all golden and fresh faced.
She approached he ran, unable to deny his nature.

Rules and Pingback here

              ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mistaken were they

With  a small man in power

Not the master race.

                  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Love has such power

To triumphantly beat all

In the race of life.

              ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
All show of power

Engines raw at amber lights

This is not a race.

And on and on and on……………………

They think the cycle is over yet it is only just begun.

The moon dances all the night then gives way to the sun.

People have fought so many wars , enough for them to be at an end.

Yet somehow still man cannot  completely be man’s friend.

The Christians and the Muslins fought a holy war

It all started centuries ago and still they fight some more.

The world has endured two world wars the first was meant to end them all.

Yet even after that, the world is fighting still, just watch the armies fall.

The Holocaust was only a one off?? yet genocide prevails.

It is here and thriving just like a bomb of nails.

The word  genocide did not exist until nineteen forty four

but it has been around since the beginning of time and will be here for evermore.

Hutu , Tutsi, Jews, Palestinians,Germans, English, Americans,every nation in the world.

They all profess that they want peace  but they all hinder the peace flag being unfurled.

The money men like money and arms make lots of that, so they do not check credentials.

Politicians love money too,  so they back wars. Buying and selling to the highest bidders like a bunch of whores.

So when will it all finish, when will  the wars and hate all end.

When will the oppressed who becomes oppressor ever learn the lessen ?? I have no idea, do you my friend?
