Generations Come, Generations Go

Generations come, generations go War and Death are what they know... In defense of land blades of grass, grains of sand Men battle for their very lives their precious children, their fearful wives If not this skirmish, then the next injuries mount, futures wrecked While diplomats stack the decks to preserve their privileged necks... Generations come and go ~ lives of peace, they never know

Sad that life is interrupted by chaos and war. When one issue is settled, another comes up. So the generations come and go without enjoying peace or happiness. You are right dear Gershon.

And are we to do nothing ? You describe the spinelessnness of humans in great verse, people areasleep! We live in war today, and death is coming our way. ..Hamas, I mean, too bad that Harris is running for president, I know sheis a Communist pretending to be a Democrat! She invites war not peace..and loves HAMAS who hates Jew- and anyone non Muslim! They kill them. Only Israel and a few in the US are sanee Shana Tovah! Bas Noach, Pangie cx

You've written what sounds like words of old that actually never grow old. Humans never learn from history. I'm recognizing your poetry today since I posted something earlier that suggested we respect flesh and blood poets by supporting their poetry with comments.

So true my friend. It is not fair to the younger generations. What future do they have with these War mongers. Great message told here my friend...
