This is no pleasure trip, no voyage for the weak-hearted.
The activists singing, holding arms, like birds in the trees,
those in awe of morning’s glory, in a dolphin-crowded sea,
mantle of intellect, a true heroic affair.
They have a ship load of food and medicine, a holy mission
to the chagrin of warmongers and their media culprits.
To the shores of Gaza they sail,
Where flesh is burnt like used tires,
monuments of barbarism.
Bewilder them till they die!
At night the stars come out into
this artifice of humanity, caught in the web of
an unspeakable tragedy.
Alas, the flotilla is interdicted, freedom is not,
sailing past the deceits, the barricades, the barb wires,
And the AI-guided bombs.
Freedom is never negotiated on high seas, commands
all the waves to safety.*
Dedicated to Greta and her comrades

The Russians are coming again
In Northern Norway, not far from Russia
the people have lived without worry
but the war hysteria is also washing up
on the rugged shores.
There is talk about closing harbors for
Russian fishing vessels, in case they spy
or do unlawful things
Let us be clear, Russia is not about to
invade, but we live in a time of relentless
propaganda when even sensible
are unsure.
The war hysteria is Russia's insistence of
not having NATO in Ukraine, this request
is perfectly normal, like that of the USA
which does not permit a foreign power
have bases near her borders and as we can
see on a map, the border between them is
long, yet not far from Moscow
This case could easily be resolved, but
the chance of hurting Russia and possibly
alter her leadership, was too much to miss
So Russia invaded to secure her border
like the USA would have done and has
in a similar situation.
A wind of war fever hastens over Europe
must be controlled, before feverish
warmongers haul us into a new war

When will peace finally come
to reign in righteous hearts,
will skies be without smoke?
Hear a mother's lingering cry,
rocking her dear child to sleep;
all she asks for is words of mercy!
Many invoke a last wish for peace,
lives will be lost until it'll take form;
what does it take to make it cease?
Storms take away all sunlight,
wars destroy tranquility and joy;
they create anxiety and fright!
Warmongers build weapons,
peacemakers pray and hope;
which side will be victorious?

Give peace a chance
To sit at the table
It’s worth the gamble
And is most able
To win a few hands
Or spin the big wheel
Give peace a chance to
Get in on the deal
Give peace a chance
It has better odds
Than a war waging
‘Tween wanna-be-gods
We know peace can have
At least nine in ten
Chances of winning
Versus fighting men
Give peace a chance
It’s in the cards
When warmongers fold
Give them best regards
No matter the score
Peace won’t be bluffing
And then it will win
Double or nothing.

The world has become jaded by the news we observe
It’s not until we notice something morally monstrous
Neither peacemakers nor warmongers have the nerve
It’s the emotions of the weak that raise our awareness
Our heads turn around when it involves the innocent
The terror and tears on their face make us take notice
Traumatizing their faultless world are the malcontents
Disrupting their pure sanctity with death and sickness
Trying to make sense of what has harassed their reality
Children and the elderly suffer, contrary to popular belief
Too delicate to be collateral damage of the war’s tragedy
Hearing the innocent cry, are you listening to their grief

Lovey dovey doves please don't cry!
Nor coo coo on your squeaky wings fly!
For the rainbow arching in the sky,
and your fledgling flock, will bring peace and defy
the warmongers, hell bent to wry
away the cry of white doves, sent aloft to ply
peace, harmony and serenity, in the by and by.

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.

The pulse stops beating,
Slowly at first
The heart starts weeping
For it has lost its thirst
For life, as it is today
The World has gone mad
And many people
Have lost the will to stay
In a world full of trouble and pain
Mainly caused by man
What did we have to gain
I don't think this was God's plan
With so many in the World,
We will never get perfect peace,
Is it too much to expect?
For HUMAN BEINGS to release
Their emotions
And bottle up their grief,
Because they think there's nothing
To give their hearts and souls relief.
The pulse of life slows down,
When all goes to pot
Warmongers have gone crazy
And completely lost the plot,
What they don't seem to realise
Or if they do, they do not care,
There is a strong possibility
Our world will not exist out there.

Humanities burden
Something nihilistic is churning on my mind what if strife is embedded in our psyche
normality is war punctuated by peace; the peace is prosperous but wallowing in
the softness concern of female interest love of dogs, making them into soft toys.
This somnambulistic existence brought no inventions and humanity, thanks to
the low birthrate was dying out.
Nature took charge and brought on the devastation the will to survive took priority.
To endure, we had to forgo lax options and be aggressive even if it meant inventing
the enemies.
War brought fore inventions benefiting warmongers but also spilt over to help man in
his daily struggle to make agriculture more efficient.
In the following years, the alternation between wars and peace became a norm, a dream
of lasting armistice unobtainable.
This throwing and towing as we see in Ukraine eventually, it will stop as all wars do
providing if a third-party stop interfering and making the war global.

Biden smells blood and wants First Kill*
Putin just laughs and hopes he will
Kim Jong-Un claps his hands
Xi Jinping understands
Warmongers can't wait for the thrill!
* The USA is the world's largest manufacturer
of arms and military gear and must
constantly provoke conflict to increase
sales, which have been hindered by the
media showcasing Chinese, North Korean,
and Russian arms and military equipment!

Today I'm learning the name
of war refugee camps,
in Congo, Rwanda, Palestine, Lebanon,
Turkey, Syria, Yemen, you name it,
and the children who play hide and seek
in charred automobiles, shivering in cold
and starvation behind the barb wires, thanking
the good Samaritans clothed in peace.
Today I'm signing Lennon's Imagine,
imagining those children swapping their places
even for a day, with your rich suburb kids
whose fathers profit from arms, to see them
recruited as child soldiers, putting their war game skills
to good use.
Today I'm laying siege to warmongers and their kins
who love peace and practice war, the true artisans of
hypocrisy.

Hate,
Is circling like a starving vulture over the hearts of the innocent
Waiting
For the war to unleash its accumulated wrath of destruction
Providing thus
An unlimited supply of provisions for warmongers to devour,
While love,
Frightened, has taken cover,
Fearing to express her concern for peace with a
ROAR!

Warmongers
selfish, deplorable
scheming, provoking, destroying
haters, devils, angels, lovers
dreaming, mediating, building
selfless, honorable
