Peace and War
Peace gapes at the world
Broken and scarred
Her sovereignty no more her pride
What a heavy price
It has become to be able to walk free
In between the limits of Earth
Peace gapes at the world ever so silently
Her pleas have been left unheeded
Her voice, scorned
Her anguish, looked down upon
On other hand, wars boast of themselves
As they hold the upper hand
On the happenings of Earth,
Aware, that they can resolve conflicts
Aware that the saying goes thus:
Wars end wars,
Wars bring peace!
But peace shudders at the sight of wars,
She glances at the skies
Wishing she could run to some other place
Where she reigns!
Meanwhile, Earth revolves,
And maintains her dance in the universe
Stoic, so like a soldier going through torture
Unable to do anything else
As she remains bound by the actions of her children
And even if peace be her favourite,
She cannot favour her as the wars keep watching her every move!
