John Hamilton Poet Lanterne

Ceasefire

Ceasefire

                                                   Glass
                                                 Shatters
                                          Hopes and dreams
                                         Ceasefire postponed
                                                    Rage

Ink Empress June 21, 2025 at 7:04 AM Its sad what we are today seeing and reading on news, unfortunately, and hate seems to be spreading, and I wish and pray for peace all over the world especially in middle east right now with all the chaos, war g3nocide and more that is happening. Innocent lives are lost on all sides.

Arthur Vaso June 19, 2025 at 2:49 AM Loved this what is sad, one side has no army, navy or air force, is not a war is a genocide. John Hamilton June 19, 2025 at 6:42 AM Yeah so much war and mostly civilians die, better days ahead though. Thanks for your comment and kind visit Arthur.
