Theme Chosen, 1. 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.

'our wars still nullify' a truth that nothing is gained by wars, yet, 'The feuds between world leaders still increase' war is not a common man's cause, you have written a thoughtful poem dear poet. Congratulations on your win. Cheers!!!
