Aggression seeps from jaundiced bones.
IS kills too many crouching in their homes
Al Queda murdered thousands in Twin Towers
the result of all those deaths is sobbing showers
the rain of tears could form a salty river to clean
out all the evil that shattered so many a dream
and in the end those fighters only ever produce
a waste of life and resources with rage on the loose…

Wake up you d...

Lining The Pockets

by Dave Dunn

Harsh odours filled the war torn air,

Napalm dropped as if with no care,

tortured children screamed as they ran,

clothes ablaze due to one foolish man...

Not that he was there to witness the scene,

at home he could ignore the very loudest scream,

thousands of miles from those he did command,

more pointless deaths we could not understand...

War

Legacy

by Dave Dunn

Don't ever think that you could be naive,

Peace War

or graduate from milk to rusks made from corn.

The web can reveal the millions that died in war,

those that were soldiers and sailors and more,

the many others who died without raising a fist,

but who counted the babi...

Rebel With A Cause (v2)

by Dave Dunn

I am a rebel against torture

I am a rebel against pain

I seek an end to hunger

I seek an end to the shame

The shame that comes from knowing

all those children dying without water

all those children dying without names

all those children dying from war

Why do men play their vicious games

why do those men pretend to serve God

when all they want is power ...

War, War, War

by Dave Dunn

Dusted off from 1968, probably my first serious poem with influences being mainly the news from Vietnam. I later used it as a song lyric with some variations, though eventually the music developed further into a fingerpicking instrumental that had a life of its' own, so the two have separated...

War, war, war
What is it all for?
Does it bring happiness
Does it bring joy
It gi...
