Flowers For Guns

There may come a day When decisions are made When war in theatres Will stop being played The worlds matinees Will show a different scene As we all sit and watch The return from being mean No more enlisting No more conscription We all live our lives In peaceful prescription Our lives move on With natural progression As we close our eyes To natural submission There may come a day When we have actually begun To grow as a race And have flowers for guns http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/loss-4.php

With world peace, a strong military could spend its time on humanitarian projects. I was lucky, 30 years without seeing any real action in war. My brother was not and is a disabled Vietnam vet. Another war the powers that be cannot explain, nor justify. Vince
