I Persist In Crediting

I persist in crediting....
That breastfeeding hatred and animosity
Could barely occasion war atrocity
Demolish houses and blameless lives reap
Petrify crestfallen minds and infants' poignant grief

That airplanes,tanks and other war toys
Could ravage,destroy and only thieve joys
Annihilate life and identities liquidate
Amplify aghast mortals and not emancipate

That peace stirring words could promote 
Long-term stability and eschew portentous faults
Make ravage and hearts assault 
Imprison sensible souls and ferocity halt

For any lesion would eventually heal 
Come to medicate and revenge conceal
But that words of malediction linger 
Boost hostility and ran our trigger

You may say these are mere fantasies 
Engaging in a wild-goose chase
Like a mansion built upon sand 
But could enmity our worries appease ? 

Remember,all things considered,we are all housed in the same boat.
