Pause

for war it tears and never mends

forbearance key to make amends 

or future generations rend

for war will tear and never mend

Always succinct and brilliant Maureen; but I feel that wars will never end. People value their beliefs over other people's beliefs. A sickness without cure. Forgive my rant. Thanks for your write, Hugs

We’re too smart to function as a species I always say ;),

Thank you Mark. It doesn’t seem to end indeed; seems we’re the only species hell bent on destroying ourselves.
