Draw a Line
DRAW A LINE
By: William S. Labtis
To draw a line there must be a justification
As to divide takes a distinction/ qualification from
Like a demarcation line - what is yours not mine
Just be this line drawn with eloquence and purpose
From post to post , so let it be known by parties
Legally : To Whom It May Concern and Presents
Must had been governed, generation to generation
It must have been a true right and a God given.
Drawing a line is a human act designed to be true
Is guided by a mighty hand, the Almighty
To make it fairly and squarely concrete
To everyone rich or poor served with dignity
Which one you stay or sign it must be in between
a line______
So conspicuously known that parties abide
And no one would go wrong always the right
with distinctness and direction
HELP US .OH LORD WITH THY HAND,
HEART AND SOUL!
By not following this line nation against nation
encroaching/fighting
History has its toil like Germany divided into two
Berlins- West and East - the Iron Curtain
Fighting each other until lately issues contained
becoming one nation
The Great Wall of China distinguishing
which one to Red China or Taiwan
But till now remarkably becoming two nations
the great wall exists and each one threatens
Foremost the wall thus establishing a line between them
So, nobody rule over the other despising who would reign
And peace at bay until where and when it shall end?
Today. social upheavals and inequities dominates
Political and economic imbalance are at stakes
Fight for survival even racial and religious differences
are make-up questions
Money, fuels and nuclear arms sometimes are instruments
for supremacy - no amount of intercession
Bloodshed and collateral damages on both sides are on the rise
So long as who is strong and diplomatic ties sacrificed
New forms of like excessive power and power of the guns
Perpetuate themselves- this line drawn between
is forgotten/ forsaken.
But now when everything left into pieces and barren
Perceiving a long serene silence to peace negotiation
After furious exchange of challenges never been experienced of all times
They’ve come exhaustingly to an agreement and a covenant
Drawing a line respecting their respective rights they demand
-2-
A line so solid so that universal understanding
Focused on world unity and mutual improvements and developments
At last for an everlasting peace after sought co-existence- Owing from DRAWN LINE.
