How strident are their screams, 'Ceasefire!'
~ adding fuel to the funeral pyre ...
Hands across a table
Ceasefire agreed
The dove of peace sings
For a day,two maybe.
Then a shot
A child lay dead.
A mother weeps
The dove flies away.
Hands across a table
Ceasefire agreed.
CEASEFIRE*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
peace
hearts mend
shadows fade
hope blooms softly
grace

Two lured hearts intertwine,
dream up life’s tapestry with lattice of desire
on cloud nine.
Two paths diverge,
master courage to defy her
spat surge.
At night
lovers ceasefire
fight.
Two lured hearts intertwine,
master courage to defy her
fight.
Old Joe Biden faced a protest
E-I-E-I-O
And at that protest, he heard some chants
E-I-E-I-O
With an ‘Genocide’ here
and a ‘Ceasefire’ there
Here a ‘Genocide,’ there a ‘Genocide’
Everywhere a ‘Genocide’
Old Joe Biden faced a protest
E-I-E-I-O
war
a storm
wipes out all
altruism blooms
peace
Place: 5th
Noshing time
for but a moment muzzled
to bring vaccinations
up to date
Far from a ceasefire
this is but a pause
without relief
for the pending prey
it is palpable
The paws that pace
the hackles that raise
the eyes that are laser fixed
that a purpose bred
purpose trained
war dog
lays in wait
For thirteen moons I holler in angst relentlessly
Under coal stars, these hands pray over August's ceasefire;
Till a young man's dull frame quakes on bloodied tracks...
O my son laying with ghosts of heroes, my night of stone.

College students let their voices be heard
As they call for freedom for Palestine
Putting bodies on the line, their anger stirred
With determination their hearts and minds entwine
But the war machine is in full swing
Of a ceasefire there is no sign
As more death and sorrow those bombs bring
But do the powers that be...
really want freedom for Palestine?
Ceasefire
Glass
Shatters
Hopes and dreams
Ceasefire postponed
Rage

its my turn,
its your turn
everyone
is on the run
"am the don".....
"am next to none"
the sun long gone...
the fun is hung
houses - they burn
families - they mourn
curfews - dusk till dawn,
gloomy on the "morn"
less ado 'bout the battles we've won
and the war cloths we've worn
let bygones be bygones
we really don't have to buy guns
Your pain is deep
Invading your dreams
No peace to keep
Unrelenting screams
When you close your eyes
The pictures of the pain
Become unrelenting lies
As they all attack your brain
Prayers for a ceasefire
Never to come about
Makes life feel dire
Showing nothing but doubt
Know I am not that far
I'm here for only you
Let me kiss your scars
I'll show you what's true
Love raided the heart
And occupied my mind
There was no chance
But to surrender
For, the love army surrounded the gates
Hopes failed
Wishes shattered
Army encountered
Ceasefire was restored
I began to forget the hard days
The army again planned an offence
Where I had no chance of defence
From then on:
I am in a state of alert
Where I cannot avert
The sweet pain of love
Often underrated,
Often understated,
Often underutilised.
Often misunderstood,
Often mishandled,
Often misinterpreted.
Yet diplomacy may be the only option,
To obtain a ceasefire.
Yet diplomacy may be the only option,
To obtain what you need to put out a fire.
Yet diplomacy may be the only option,
To obtain what you desire.
Yet diplomacy may be the only option,
To prevent the spread of all that is dire.
Tartaric acid rain of the lost calligraphy
Peels to melt the running emotions
Drains clog beneath dynasties
Commerce to no one in seas
Pourtant je vois ceasefire
See a spark of defiance
Harlequin of belle dame misery
Catatonic brutality ends within me
Phantom of these nigh-mares
Shriek away stares orbs no retinas
Telltale sen em bras lambent
Am I dying nevermore
Mourning my own demises gavotte masquerade
Is that a shimmer of light on my finale
