Live and Let Live
War is ghastly,
And astronomically costly.
Trillions of US dollars to fund it.
Yes, that costly.
The cost of injuries sustained,
The cost of human lives,
The cost of weapons,
The cost of grief felt
By families of soldiers
Coming home in closed caskets.
Peace, on the other hand,
Costs nothing.
Zero, zip, zilch price tag!
So why don't we try
To live and let live instead?
Humanity shines
As bright as
A summer afternoon sun
When we peacefully co-exist
In this vale of tears.
It's better to sit down
And brainstorm a solution
To resolve our differences,
As opposed to waging war
Against one another.
Let's bridge the divide between us
Instead of exchanging gunfire.
Let's shake hands,
Smile, and wish each other well.
Let's simply live and let live.
