A repost

Who will pay the price of justice for the lives that have been lost?
Who will pay the price of justice, and what will be the cost?
The cost will be measured in lives and broken hearts.
This is what the coin will be, should a new war start.

Who will pay the price of justice when the siren sounds so clear?
Who will pay the price of justice while a world waits in fear?
They will come from every family and every walk of life.
Some will leave behind families, and some will leave a wife.

Who will pay the price of justice when all is said and done?
Who will pay the price of justice, and what will they have won?
Will you be one who cheers when the war is finally done?
Or will you be one who weeps over a father or a son?

Who will pay the price of justice for a world that's finally at peace?
Who will pay the price of justice and will the war of terror cease?
You who scream for war will not be the ones who pay.
It will be those who die, and will not see another day.

Who will pay the price of justice and will it be worth the cost?
Will what we gain in war, my friends, make up for what we've lost?

You already know the answer.
Everyone will pay, one way or another.

Hi, Love.

I wanted to search for some of your work that I haven't commented on yet. I find this one with a bit of sadness due to the crisis these days. I think it is inevitable.

Of that tongue’s uttering, yet I know the sound:" "Romeo and Juliet"

mmm....both sides will suffer one way or another. it's quite sad. this poem really says what a lot of people i know feel. it makes a person really think about war and how it affects families and countries. nice job.

Thank you.

War, though sometimes inevitable, is never necessary.
