Down With the War Mongers

Wars round the corner, wars at every bend Could it be that all this warring would never ever end? Why can't we borrow love and peace too learn to lend? For peaceloving persons wars are hard to comprehend But in which blessed century will the world it's ways amend? Why not be all sincere when peace we readily send? To our lives defend why do we opt to offend? Why can't we all as Adam's progeny simply unite and blend? The world's tearing apart, which saviour's gonna mend? When the scissors of tyranny all peace efforts ruthlessly rend! When will all the saviours from heavenly heaven descend? So we watch and hear all war cries unto thin air ascend! When peace be the only choice, the only probable trend! Ah instead of fending off war drums why peace plans off we fend? Why peace so complicated and double standards at every bend? Will all state treasuries on aggression alone their budgets spend? Why can't every foe we know turn into a caring friend? So we're stalked by friendship and ambushed by love godsend! A world where warlords and war heroes become zeroes who in the first place did offend. With peace may no nation merely play and pretend!

Love can be cultivated in the mass of heart with true sense of humanity only I feel individually. When all the people will think this World as own material home and feel the guests of each others, then only it may be possible to have the war ended. Beautiful thoughts, my poet friend. Loved always, bl

Pain of one is joy of other, ideology and definitions differ. So, perhaps war will never end. Only the true consciousness of peace for humanity may help here. You have a great heart. Loved always, my friend, bl

Oh S I agree with every word of your sentiments and i feel that it is the poets job to keep on saying this time after time after time. however i think a change in human Nature is a long way off and i suspect that we can't do it. About the poem .... I think you said it all in about 3 or 4 verses. I think your poem is too long I think you achieve more and get more readers if brevity is the soul of your punch! Very good work!

the opposite of forgiveness is revenge just as the opposite of grace is justice. This world has no understanding of how to attain peace. It has it's own standards. You ask about a century of peace, How about a millenium? One is coming soon.

This is an excellent poem about the sad and unfortunate truth of the world we live in today . The only solution available is peace. Which we have to find inside ourselves . May be we'll find it someday.
