World Without War

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
" There'll be love and laughter and peace ever after, tomorrow when the world is free, just you wait and see"   Walter Kent.

Frustrated fiery feelings. 
Anger at all atrocities. 
Feeling fire following fast. 
Soul’s senses smoldering, 
Of outrageous oblivion. 
Splinters spear so silently. 
And ashes ascend angrily. 
Frightening fire flashes. 
Suddenly silence surrenders. 
Perpetual peace permeates. 
Briefly beyond battles. 
Contrition captures calm. 
Onward obeying orders. 
Dutiful dying, deluded dead. 
Increases industry's interest. 
Soldiers sacrifice so senseless.
Profits push political power .
Wonder was war worth while.
Observed obscene onslaught over.
When will we witness world without wars?

The alliteration speaks truth, and done well for a win, Wen. Tonight's Bidens last state of the union before election, Palestinians hoping he calls for a cease fire. We too hope so. Although it is all about negotiation, Israel's Netanyahu won't even show up for the negotiation. They've gone too far as the world witnesses! Great entry of frustration & beautiful song above. Hugs to you!

My dad was in the Navy in WW2 Anaya and that was a popular war time song offering the promise of Peace ever after. Mum and dad used to sing it around the house together with countless other songs of the day. I know the words of them all, Growing up I could not believe that men started another war in Vietnam, It was supposed to be the end of all wars and they dared to start another. Now there are wars going on all over the planet. The world lamented the way the Jews were treated in WW2. How can they be doing this now? It blows my mind how they can have killed 30,000 men women and children over a small strip of land? What demented mind can be giving the orders to do this. Along with the demented mind in Russia, and other parts of the world. How can we live in a world without love ? Thank you for your wonderful comment.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your "World without War" 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.

Hi Beata the scripture you included was probably the most important scripture of the new testament. Your kind and great words are appreciated. Thank you.

- The world needs peace and reconciliation ... the long history of wars, the one we must free ourselves from before it ends everything and everyone ... but, no stable state to see in the future ... you give hope a voice, S.V. :) - Best wishes in the contest :) - hugs
