A Dying Child's Plea Tony Robin Bulley 27th September 2008 (c)

Oh peace how I seek for your dawning day
Why did you leave me and go away
For I am scared no one hears my cry
Whilst on the street my brothers die
This is my question what have I done
As here now I lay dying in the sun
Oh peace where are you in my strife
My blood ebbing stolen in youth of life
Oh peace I feel so cold short of breath
Come hold me in my hour of death
Take me away from the soldier’s gun
No more I need to hide no place to run
I am dying my blood spilt in the sand
Peace come closer take hold my hand
For I am a child innocent without sin
Oh peace I feel you now close within
Never more all those I love to see
For death has come to set me free
Oh peace hear me my final prayer
Peace to all the nations everywhere
Oh peace I feel you so close now by
Hold me a child in your arms as I die

The Choice Is ours
Tony Robin Bulley 17April 2004 ©
I sometimes wonder if we really care
Or just pretend and gaze with vacant stare
At all the death and pain in this life
Is it not our concern for others strife
Or do we feel we want to shout and cry
but in the end just walk on by
For their grief may be our day of regret
For what we left behind we cannot forget
Nor if we close our eyes and sit and pray
Without change today will be yesterday
Have we really become void and cold
Ignoring life just growing old
And if we stand and never say a word
What change will come for no one heard
And when we die and look back as we go
Will we be satisfied with what we know
That one small voice can become a swell
Creating paradise where once was h***
This poem about life really and the choices we can make to change things. Often we see things we don’t like or that we think are not good for the world we live in, but rather than speak out for change we say nothing, or think maybe someone else will do it. Not realizing that if we were to take action then others would be aware and join in and hopefully things would change for the good. Often we think well who is going to pay attention, but although we may not be aware at the time, our very outpouring will sow seeds, and those seeds will grow, it may be only one or two to start but eventually if you shout loud and long enough people will pay attention especially if its something really important concerning us all. I hope this poem is thought provoking, it gives us choices in life, things we can act upon, things we can change for the better of all mankind, and above all this is love hope and charity choices well worth having.

Do We Really Care
Tony Robin Bulley 22nd November 2006 (C)

When we speak, but never really say
Then turn our backs and walk away
Taking for granted the things of life
Ignoring cries for help, people in strife
Or do we just watch, stand, and stare
What does that say, or do we care
Waiting for others to bear the load
While we continue down the road
For this is how it is today
No love no hope sad to say
Guns war starvation killing death
Millions of children on their last breath
While the rich exploit the poor
Having much wanting more
For can one live then turn away
Without haunting memories of that day
Failing to act, no spoken word
Nowhere can a voice be heard
So will you heed to others plight
Then turn around, and put it right
