Yes, we lived and we fought against each other thus enemies on the battlefield of hate we died but death has us united and brothers out of us has made! No, my loving brother, enemies we were never born but made by all those who had the most to gain! © Demetrios Trifiatis 10 August 2018 * Written after watching a memorial service at which former enemies met to honor their fallen comrades-in-arms!

The epitome of Humanity in its finest essence is your poem dear Demetrios! You're right, we are coloured by idiologies.. people's "gains"! and Humanity is stained! A great write! An amazing tribute! A FAV. Thank you so much for sharing. Be blessed.

People of this world love each other..only the ones who have other motives promote hate and wars..well said my friend, Demetrios.

It is true my friend, Vijay! Unfortunately, those who have the motives have also the power! Thank you very much for your lovely comment!

You wonder how it came to that, ordinary people like you and me enemies on the battlefield, politicians and war mongers have a lot to account for. Tom

After so many decades on the earth plane I do not wonder anymore my friend, Tom for , as Einstein has said, the stupidity of Man, is infinite! Pity we realise it only after people die! Thank you my friend!
