by Robert Davidson

Hanging on my wall beside my bed
Self-mutilation
Brings things into perspective

My hand broken from punching the wall
I hurt myself to ease the pain
So deep into my throbbing mind
I need to get it out

Tears of blood fall and shatter on my window
Like drops of glass from a distance
As a bus explodes
And nails my feelings to my door

Living in a dying world of bleeding souls
Terror bombs stalk my streets
I see my nightmares become reality

I see the future with a frightened eye
Raging fires everywhere, my walls closing in
Life is the nightmare world we're all dying to live

(This poem was written shortly after the London terrorist
attack on July 7 2005). [comments] => 6 [counter] => 197 [topic] => 75 [informant] => robertdavidson [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 15 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => anguished )

'NIGHTMARE WORLD'

by Robert Davidson

Hanging on my wall beside my bed
Self-mutilation
Brings things into perspective

My hand broken from punching the wall
I hurt myself to ease the pain
So deep into my throbbing mind
I need to get it out

Tears of blood fall and shatter on my window
Like drops of glass from a distance
As a bus explodes
And nails my feelings to my door

Living in a dying world of bleeding souls
Terror bombs stalk my streets
I see my nightmares become reality

I see the future with a frightened eye
Raging fires everywhere, my walls closing in
Life is the nightmare world we're all dying to live

(This poem was written shortly after the London terrorist
attack on July 7 2005).

Oh yes.. I like this one because of the anger you expressed goes hand in hand with the anger of our world.. this write is deep.

The images you placed before my eyes is dynamic..

I love the use of symbols in this write.. your fist of blood, the tears, the terror.. all pain and blood..

Where does it stop.. or when.. terrible tragedies going on, even now as I write..

Your reader friend,
