We Are One and the Same

Once again although we are one and the same One strikes another in confrontational shame The thirty eighth parallel shows that man has not lost To discuss through weapons, no matter the cost Diplomacy with thought, before all leaders speak Just listen to each other as it's peace that we all seek It's not just your own lives that you play with today Escalation of conflict brings others their say History tells us that no one really gains Only generations present, will feel wars pains No care is ever given when decisions to fight are made Whilst we await the screaming whistles of their hostile serenade We live in the world of conscience, mans dark abyss Whilst the majority enjoy the light, peace is their wish Will there ever be a day, when man may finally learn To abide by life and decency that decent people yearn http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/war-7.php

James, what a thought provoking write and I totally agree with you on every level.. War seems to do more harm, the ideals of money hungry people with no regard for the effects it has on the innocent.. Awesome write my friend.. Enjoy the weekend ahead :-) xx

HI James.You've echoed my thoughts and ideals.The more I read about the pain and conflict we cause one another,the more I ask when will we learn?I feel poetry like this has it's place to reach people to show there are one's who care.That amidst all the madness love still exists.Your art expressed in words like these can get people thinking.Maybe that is our purpose as poets not just to write to please but to touch hearts and to raise awareness and so make a difference.Love this. Love June
