For How Long
For how long must the world sufferer fallacious arguments,
that war wins the right to rule, scarlet, the stains of blood,
as leaders eviscerate their people, internal organs strew escarpments,
curious vultures bide their time, waiting till the dying die,
to bewilder, plunge innocents into the trenches of war, tantalize
with fallacious promises of wealth and good health, do leaders, they
create a vortex, a black hole scenario, where all human life meets death,
inadvertently, not knowing there will be a winner, Mother Nature,
a new chance for wildlife, the survival of the fittest, to which they all relate,
let peace be the way, reach out to all life, let peace rule with good will I pray!
