Love and War

Love and War L ove will always be in the end victorious O nly love can be triumphantly glorious V anity leads to pride and evil aggression E vil loses battles in dramatic succession What is the answer to the eternal question that mystifies many upon their deep reflection Will love ever conquer evils progression eliminating warmongers hateful obsession? Surely humanity is in a deep depression as war rages onward without regression Hope fades quickly without faiths confession only God can help us now with his protection. Ignorance is inspiring the irate inglorious Love will conquer war, that's what were hoping for Love will conquer hate, never again to dominate Love will always be in the end victorious.

Greetings, John. I am reading your poem with much interest- I love the rhyming scheme and its smooth flow. I love your positive thoughts on love. The last line of verse four is so overwhelming, " Love will always be in the end victorious. " Thank you for my placement in your Home Sweet Home contest. I am very excited and honored. I wish you success in your writing endeavors. Enjoy your evening. Kind Regards, Andrew.
