When Will War End

There’s no such things as world peace Never was never will The air smells like the dead Towns are more like ghost towns Nothing on the ground, but rocks and dirt People in homes stay in the dark too scared to go outside; some wanted to go just to die. Some men are hungry Some men are scared When the battle starts there’s no turning back. Children will run instead of playing Children will cry instead of laughing Many men will laugh while destroying beautiful children even if they are their own kind Maybe it’s because they are not human. When its night time no one will sleep in peace All they hear are bullets, and explosions. There’s no such things as world peace never was never will Whenever a war ends there will be another When will war end? I don’t know… Probably never.

A very moving piece. history shows us man can not live in peace. I feel your frustration my friend. your words got to my heart, Only God can bring true everlasting peace, and he soon will, after the biggest war ever seen, and good will overcome evil. after, man will live as one in harmony. Pete.

Hate, racism and greed are the main culprits of war. Before these end there is no hope of wars ending. Thank you for sharing yours thoughts with us, Abdeil. // paul

"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of God." Your poem is a sad reality, at least until the Son of Man returns in His Glory.

War is such a terrible thing. I think you are right when you say probably never. Janet
