Peace

Peace.
Something
that should be
surrounding us all.
My heart weeps for the
State of war that we now find
ourselves in.Tears flow for the people
Trapped in the nightmares of this new war.
My heart aches for the innocent souls
that will suffer with death and loss.
It’s strange that the one thing
that we are fighting for,
is the thing that we
are avoiding…
Peace.

"fighting for peace"....a phrase used for thousands of years....wouldn't you think by now someone would realize the contradiction in terms?

all too true, honey, unfortunately... you know my feelings on this topic.
for those of you who don't, my idea of how war should be approached is that we ought to have each side declare a list of what they want if they win, then take all the people above the rank of lieutenant colonel (or the equivalent) from each army and lock 'em in a room together, unarmed.
whoever walks out gets their whole list, and the ones left unconscious get squat.
the soldiers get to watch on video cameras and bet on the outcomes, and any losses will be recouped from the combatants' salaries.

that would clear up this "war" crap in a real hurry.

failing that, lock 'em in a room with ME.
when i walk out, there won't be any more of this foolishness.

Always been this way. Waves ceaselessly crashing against each other sharing the same sea. Enjoyed.

Thank you for this. Both the presentation and the thoughts are wonderful. And even though I do not expect to see world peace in my lifetime, I will not stop hoping and believing that it will happen some day. But then my daughter reminded me of what happened in a Simpsons TV show...Peace on Earth became a reality, then the aliens showed up and took over the planet. LOL. I had to add that. Please forgive me.

I'm glad I did stop in today.. I didn't think I'd see this poem back up on the pages. Thank you everyone for comments. I pray there will be peace soon, even though I do support the reason for the war. Hopefully, it will end soon.
Thank you all again for the responses, I'm glad you enjoyed. I'm not feeling well, and not staying long, or I would take the time to thank you all individually.

to you all
