Peace Only

Once friends, now foe We are now fighting Fighting for space One, An oppressor The other a small territory I thought we are friends? The deeply oppressed said A rebel replied the oppressor I can see the world watch from a distance I can see the tears of innocent citizens Infants walking down miles for survival The street littered with helpless toys Children too busy to play The oppressor pushes, the weak struggle No hiding place for the antelopes For the lions have come to dine in the field No refuge for the immigrant For they are not worthy to survive Who should be judged for the great loss When government only calculate losses Can we embrace peace and save the future I plea for mercy, let's stop the war Let's stop Russia, Ukraine war

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

War is such a tragic thing... I shudder to think of all of the lives lost on either side. I found this poignant poem to be extremely emotional. The imagery was excellent.
