Love Thy Brother.

Brothers killing brothers......a field of blood sisters slaying sisters.......instead of bearing sons. mothers ,daughters..fathers, sons all dead and gone, kindred spirits slaughtered one by one by the hand of those each should love. I wonder if at the last moment they had second thoughts Is this the way to go ..isn't there a better way? Perhaps dialogue or patience would have been better Less lives could have been lost ..less regrets to bear.....more hearts could have been won. Yet the war continues unabated..send in more troops is what we say. Isn't there another way? Too many orphans left.. ..uncared for and grieving too many tears have been shed.... hearts harden. Prisoners of war......wounded and shell shocked veterans....... physically handicapped....mentally deranged....a terrible plight both sides share the same fate....pain and sadness is all that's left no one wins yet the war never ends. Love's now a thing of the past only anger and hatred remain When, oh when will Peace prevail.
