War

Why do people create War? Bombarding each other til the spirit is raw Inflicting pain on strangers It’s a numbers game...who kills more. No one wants to lose So death is what they choose Who made THESE people “God”? Where in hell did they get their views? What is so wrong? For mankind to get along For us to experience peace To come together and be strong Please someone, wave the white flag Remove your stifling gag Spread the word of peace and love HATE is not a word used by God above. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ©copyright Juanita Torr ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is written from your heart Juanita...I feel your angst... As Richard says below, '...until Jesus comes again...' we can expect wars...still, we must keep our hopes alive. Great job! Have a great weekend! Always, Annalise Chek your Soup Mail

Unfortunately until Jesus comes again this World will not have any lasting Peace.
