War a Senryu

Neville

War a Senryu

 

Nothing good ever really

Came from hate and war

Except for poetry and peace

    So very true.

    Poem by Spike Milligan:

    "If I die in war,
    You will remember me.
    If I live in peace,
    You won't"

        Cheers Orchidee my friend..

        • orchidee

          It's a bit early in the day for 'thinking' (lol) but I don't seem to agree, that for light to be present, there has to be darkness too - if this is not going off-theme too much?

        • Michael Edwards

          And so it always will be - great little 'un.

          • Neville

            Thank you kindly my good man.... N

          • ANGELA & BRIAN

            Thanks NEVILLE ~ Our MANTRA has always been *Make Love not War !* Ever since CAIN killed ABEL ~ mankind has been at WAR ! Since 1945 (74 years ~ a lifetime !) there has not been another World War. However in the last 74 years there has always been a *WAR* somewhere on Earth. Millions have been killed - most of them innocent Civilians !

            Blessings & Peace to You & Yours

            • Fay Slimm.

              Enlightening senryu dear Nev and so very true. Hate and war indeed beget outcry from poets which rings with experience we cannot forget.

              • Neville

                Thank you Fay.. Many thanks indeed... Neville ..

              • Poetic Dan

                Wiser than the enemy will ever be!
                Poetry will set us all free

                • Neville

                  Thank you Dan... in a better world there would be no enemies, would there.... N

                  • Poetic Dan

                    Only the knowledge that we grow from the negative too!
                    Once we put down the weapons and use only our tongue

                  • sylviasearcher

                              Both of which are not dollar earners for the power crazed.

                              Sadly how true are your words when we look at the history of mankind.

                              • Neville

                                Terrible track record.... cheers DA ...
