Shirley Hawkins Poet Rhyme

Far From Fair

All's fair in love and war
I beg to differ
When I read this proverb
It got right up my sniffer

       LOVE

All's fair in love
It certainly is not
It all depends entirely
On the lover that you have got

You may love a man
With all your heart
When life becomes mundane
He will soon depart

     WAR

All is fair in war
Only to a warmonger
Can't they see the carnage
Children everywhere dying from hunger

All is Not fair in Love or war
This statement I find Silly
I did not pen this Famous Proverb
The writer was John Lyly

Jenish Somadas March 15, 2020 at 12:13 AM Wonderful way you crafted this poem.. But I differ with you.. All is fair in love, if it is not a one sided love.. And if you enter a war, you have only two options.. Jenish Somadas March 15, 2020 at 3:27 AM I totally agree.. Wars are for power and greed.. Shirley Hawkins March 15, 2020 at 12:48 AM Thank you for sharing your point of view which I respect. Regarding war are the options kill or be killed ( if so it is not fair to either party) or go to war or not ( what option has an individual got if he objects to go ) Wars are caused by unrest brought about by power and greed ....
