I Have Made A Vow

I Have Made A Vow

I have made a vow
Never to be a part
Never to be a part
of their hullabaloo

I have made a vow
Not to join in forcing people to bow
Why must I be part
Of those nuisance, depriving men of their joy

I have made a vow
Not in for terrorism
Not in for hooliganism
And you can't force me to vow

I have made a vow
Why must I make my fellow men to bow
To shiver in fears, I hate the act
Never!, never will I be a part

I have made a vow
Cos the end is destructive
And can't be clean of blemish
Never! never will I be a part

I have made a vow
Never to be a part
Of animals that force mammals to bed
They steal people's joy from them

I slept and I dreamt
I saw men running
With no destination
But wanting to free from their turbulent motion

No!, never will I be a part
Of what I saw in my dream
I see what those running saw
I feel what they felt when faced with a live gun

No!, never will I be a part
Am not a coward, Just can't go in that act
Making men of able-bodies shiver in fear
I saw it in my dream, the dancing of my ears

No!, Cultism is a fire
I saw it in my dream
Never will I be a part
Of those lifeless lives setting the world on fire

Those that kill with a gun
Shall surely face the grunt
Karma is a lovely bitch
Be ready to scratch the itch.

Not to incite others to unbrotherly actions like war

Quite good. I like how you have engrained emotions in the poem. The poem flows well, but with time just go over it again and trim it a bit.
