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
