Conflicted (Silent Weapons for a Quiet War)

My mind is a weapon,
My heart is like a blade…
Conflicting emotions
Weapons of mass deception
Killing each other as a way of life
Conflict manifesting itself in forms of diamond stones,
Deceived many dearly beloved
morn of their loss for the dearly departed,
I shed more tears for my beloved continent,
Africa, masters of disasters, we pride on chaos
and just watch as our land gets raped by the pure savagery of our inner hate.
Spilling blood like a tap left unclosed, drip, drip, dripping the life out of innocents.
The hissing spitfire of the 45. silently whispers the tale of impending doom
leaving my speech decayed,
as I witness the horror my mind cannot be swayed,
from the truth that the government,
feeds us junk at a lower cost while the wealthy afford the healthy
lifestyle of living.
My character is that of one who is eminent
And I will continue to be till breathing ceases to be relevant.
Salvation I will sooner or later find,
Because the earth is the mirror of the human mind.
A soldier in this battle, I do not discriminate or hate,
Coz knowledge by far transcends self-pity or fate.
I will lay down my life for the cause, I'm not a holy warrior
Unlike Mujahideen, terror to the innocents I do not bring.
I fight the oppression of the Government's mental rape,
As they surround themselves with a veil of mystical secrecy
in order to hide their ignorance.
Furious from these acts of subversion,
My heart in discord speaks out to gain attention
Together we can destroy these negative concepts
In hopes of a better future prospect.
Ambitions outlined in our foreheads, adamant and black as tar,
We will eventually eliminate these silent weapons, in this quiet war.

Nice poem, Warlock. I like

Nice poem, Warlock. I like that you're bringing some political and world issues onto this site. Your style is unique and flows well. Peace to Africa, mang. I've got some family friends from Zimbabwe; it's terrible out there. We're getting them settled in the UK but hopefully they can go back if things ever get better because they'd rather be there. My heart goes out to all the people in distress in Somalia, Nigeria, Congo, etc. Keep fighting, my friend. Fuck the corrupt governments across the world. Peace, NSF

Well Said

Well said NSF,
Thanks for reading. yeah you right about the situation in Zim, its shocking!!
There is so much war going on in African countries God only knows where it ends.
I guess it may end when the government stops putting their own needs before that of the people.
