Notes About The Poem

Written, February 6, 2025
For The Contest, “That's Life: A Different Kind of Challenge”
Sponsor, Andrea Dietrich
Theme Chosen, 1. For The Life Of Me

For The Life Of Me

God, for the life of me, I know not why
we have not learned a way to live in peace.
As in the past, our wars still nullify
this yearning by not finding ways to cease.
The feuds between world leaders still increase
to procure power as their sacred role-
care not that deaths become our painful toll!
How many more decades will pass before
we find a way to end each selfish goal;
God, for the life of all, world peace, implore.
