James Fraser Poet Quatrain

Flowers For Guns

There may come a day
When decisions are made
When war in theatres
Will stop being played

The worlds matinees
Will show a different scene
As we all sit and watch
The return from being mean

No more enlisting
No more conscription
We all live our lives
In peaceful prescription

Our lives move on
With natural progression
As we close our eyes
To natural submission

There may come a day
When we have actually begun
To grow as a race
And have flowers for guns

Vince Suzadail Jr. March 9, 2010 at 4:49 AM With world peace, a strong military could spend its time on humanitarian projects. I was lucky, 30 years without seeing any real action in war. My brother was not and is a disabled Vietnam vet. Another war the powers that be cannot explain, nor justify. Vince
