Betterment

imagine there is a war and nobody goes turns swords into ploughshares instead builds homeless shelters instead of bunkers shares toil freedom and land resists grabbing power dresses in peace flags and love the silent majority does not wish to be slaughtered on battle fields to satisfy greed and corruption and they have a say because they are the masses we the people need to find our voice a choir of compassion and pacifist canon rhymed metered and tranquil poetry in untroubled stance and rhythm of caring intention I was once a soldier had sold my soul to the highest bidder to finance studies and life style which still leaves a sour taste on my vita today I am a simple poet with something to say quietly walk away from aggression and hope that my bubble will spread imagine there is a heaven and we can stop burning bridges as well as bear the cross on our shoulders 31st January 2023
