In our lives it happens all the time,
People are at war,
At war somewhere in our world.
Why is this so?
Why cannot we have a peaceful world
Where all get on with each other
And love and happiness abounds?
If we had this peace
Children bury their parents.
But in war
Parents bury their children.
Come on world wake up!
Live in peace,
The peace that we all deserve.

it makes no sense at all to live any other way does it .. but there you are, we belong to the only species in the known universe that are cruel, greedy and so very self centered ........... Neville
Such true words Neville, if only......
Andy
A fine write Gold.
Thanks Orchi.
Statements are nowhere near enough -
Answers assiduously sought
Should be, although extremely tough,
Crucial, or the result is naught.
Take it from there, please Andy....
Statements are full of awful lies
Answers of truth they do not want
So it is never a surprise
That it is peace that they want to flaunt.
Your turn.
Andy
Its no good asking if that’s all you have -
Categorise that as a closed question.
Ask for example, just how did it start?
And do not accept prevarication.
Now for your crushing response, Andy.....
Do look after yourself.
Peace, historically unattainable and unmaintainable. Mighty fine thoughts Andy.
So true but we can hope that peace will be with us one day Rik.
Andy
That is the hope and the goal Andy!
I sometimes wonder; if we could bring peace into our own lives, might we be able to make peace with others? Perhaps in a far distant future when we are truly civilized. Quite a thought provoking and applicable poem my friend.
There are many people who have peace in their own lives and try to seek peace for all but those in power will lose out and that is the problem with the leaders in our world.
Peace be with you Bella.
Andy
