When Love Flies Out of the Window

When love flies out of the window
Hate strides in the door
People wear sad faces
Which they never wore before

Hate encourages violence
Love votes for peace
Hate causes disturbance
That seems never to cease

Make love, not war
Is a sensible point of view
I cannot understand warmongers
It is impossible to

I don't think anyone,
Who has a brain
Would want to see the world
Slowly trickle down the drain

Sadly that is what is happening,
In this crazy world today,
If things don't change soon
Our sins will wash the world away.

Panagiota Romios Date: 4/23/2023 2:04:00 AM There has not been peace since the world started…. I do not know why people think there ever was! We are the same age, Shirley And we grew up with Hitler, Mussolini and Stalin,Mao, etc, Anyway, the blood runs in our US streets, and thieves are not punished. Murderers are set free! And More signs of the End Times. Murder of the unborn, that’s a war against God. A well done poem. Pangie Login to Reply
