Everyone has got a flag

Albix

And  I remind

those songs

talking of peace

talking of love.

Today I remind them

listening to the radio.

I hear from the news

 that after decades

cannonballs keep flying

men searching  for command

and people keep dying.

But now I don't blame God anymore

for the man's thirst of power

for his greed of money.

Everyone has got a flag of glory

to cover the shame of death

and  make his murders

as were a right.

              Thank you Peto. I really feel more and more sad for the too many wars going around in the world: Syria, Gaza, Ukraine, Afrika. I'm longing for an international, democratic government, capable to impose the belligerant states a fair peace, or at least a safe ceasfire. I hope to be able to know a new international order of justice and peace.
