Will the Eagle ever fly with the Dove

Terrorists rule and innocents die Missiles rain down from an unfriendly ski Which rhetoric do you believe When there is nothing left except to grieve Will the eagle ever fly with the dove? Fire lights an unfriendly scene As a Synagogue burns in an antisemitic theme The are you Jewish question sorts the crowd Banned at University Jews are not allowed Will the eagle ever fly with the dove? The cult of personality rises as dictators reign Their armies destroying as their refrain Ordinary people pay the price With human lives lost in war’s vice Will the eagle ever fly with the dove? What it seems is there is never a time When its peace on earth and kindness is sublime How will we find this happiness Where nations settle and world peace is blessed Will the eagle ever fly with the dove? © Paul Warren Poetry
