No War Is Legitimate Or Holy

No war is legitimate,
neither defense nor conquest
defense of what is not attacked
conquest is not a legitimate act...
There is no legitimacy in invasion,
no war is holy war
everyone kills each other for no reason
they all act like thieves...
Nothing that takes your value
nothing that is forced has the truth
conquest is only valid with love... !
when you give love willingly...
Nothing justifies inhumanity,
nothing justifies death
does not perform any union
when brothers are killed...!

Legitimate Public Discourse

McConnell now says, "I was there!
It was NOT a social affair!
It was insurrection
Attacking my section
How dare RNC not be fair?"

Premium Member Writing Poems Is Legitimate Now

From both sides of the world we poets hail
Japanese Chokra and Russian Chatushka
Italian sonnet and African Kwansaba
Keenly delighting each other without fail

Within ballad a most interesting tale
Carpe Diem makes me sigh with a serious Ahh.
Here comes an acrostic – the best I ever saw.
Abcedarian swoops in on a gale.

Cinquains and poetic diminished Hexaverse
Your challenge accepted, the cards are clearly cut.
Get out your pocketbook, believe I can do worse.
The Internet has made writing legitimate.
From both sides of the world we poets hail.
Keenly delighting each other without fail.


No War Is Legitimate

No war is legitimate,
neither defense nor conquest
defense of what is not attacked
conquest is not a legitimate act ...
There is no legitimacy in invasion,
no war is holy war
everyone kills themselves without reason
everyone acts as hypocretes ...
Nothing that takes your value
nothing that forces itself has the truth
achievement is only valid with love ...!
when love is given ...
Nothing justifies inhumanity,
nothing justifies the killing
makes no union
when brothers are killed ...!
