Fighting Over a Joyous Celebration

Because we are all so called
human beings

Say for example we one day somehow
managed to get

2 age old sworn enemies to sit
at the 1 and same table

Even if that day was in fact say
the 25th December , Peace and
Goodwill to all mankind

And lay down there arm's and seek
everlasting harmony and peace

Sad as seems in actual reality the
probable outcome will be

Inadvertently you have now given
them a fresh new scenario over
which to tussle

Because who exactly then gets to
host and cater such an event , on 
who's home turf is it then to be held 

Who gets to clean up the mess
and the inevitable fall out afterwards

Once all is said and done and age old
animosities and hostility resumes

Between 2 sworn enemies who now
have been given 1 more thing to disagree
fight and hate each other for

Because sadly we human beings if
nothing at all suffer from a debilitating
flaw

Otherwise why on earth else would we continually rather prefer to choose to 
wage war 

Than seek peace and love instead
