God bless the dead

by mier   Nov 24, 2007


When we lose a loved one to inevitable tragedy,
there is no one to blame but the cold iris of catastrophe.
Abandon all the ardent memories and tender words unsaid.
Let the corpses rest in peace and god bless the dead.

To all the innocent children who were sacrificed unwillingly,
by a methodical mind of merciless blasphemy.
To all those who thought of escaping their misery by suicide,
only to realize their grave mistake on the other side.

To those who were bestowed the plague and suffered endlessly,
waiting for death, accompanied by a treasured memory.
To the vast number of deaths that fade without an alibi,
and were blissfully forgotten as the abundant time pass by.

In the crescendo of graveyard acoustics and midnight silence,
there is no more unnecessary space for regret and patience.
Abandon all the ardent memories and tender words unsaid.
Let the corpses rest in peace and god bless the dead.

    Beautiful ending, so sad poem it touched me deeply. Still the way you wrote it is amazing and atmosphere that you created in it is fascinating. Every line is so deep and compact, I also like the rhythm you created in whole piece, effective and it holds some superb tone. Sad but excellently written piece.

    Beautiful; bleeding emotion.
    A tear or two for your poetry; and for the dead.

    Well the first thing that hits you about this piece is just how vibrant and vivid the images you put across are. Such wonderful and intense images really bring this piece to life, considering the topic.

    This poem holds a nice, steady flow right from the start; never once faltering from course.

    Such a wonderful poem, it makes me question why and how I havenâ??t come across more of your work before.
