IN ALL MANNER OF WAR, WHEN WILL THEIR BE PEACE � part I

IN ALL MANNER OF WAR, WHEN WILL THEIR BE PEACE � part I

A Poem by Lena
"

Part I - War comes in many forms and fashions.... How could there be peace. See Part-II (the answere)

"

 

Mothers crying, their children dying. When will there be Peace?

Fathers and sons weeping and mourning, Yet brandishing Guns

When will there be Peace?

 

Blood in the streets, see as it runs, see as it seeps

Death near and far, here and there,

Death all around us and still no one care

When will there be Peace? 

˜

So, what is left in the wake of all of this .

What is the price we pay, What is mankind's risk?

Pestilence and Plague as starvation rage. 

Famine and Homelessness, children left in a daze

Our past we’ve colored, Our present we stain. 

Let us not destroy the future that remain

When will there be Peace?

˜

So you say; Does it really matter, it’s over there?

Turn you face, it’s not of our Race

 

Well! Then there is the war that rages with-in, 

at tomorrow’s dawning, what will it bring?

A parent worries, Will there be enough food to feed the little ones

A care-giver’s concerned, Is there enough provisions, because the old and feeble still have wants

When will  there be Peace?

 

Domestic violence, the spouse, the young and the old

Yet there is silence, don’t get involved you are told

A baby shot down by a bullet stray, While playing ball in urban decay

When will there be Peace?

˜

A person struggles and work hard, material things to achieve

Then there’s a break-in and death, because of jealously and greed

Or, in your Ride driving form here to there,

The price of a car, your death is later compared

When will there be Peace?

˜

So with no escape from the pain and confusion, their time they bide

With the system so crazy, in drugs some try to hide

Then in despair, when all else has failed and there is still struggle and strive

So burdened and beaten down some take their own lives

When will there be Peace?

˜

Constant worry and concerns also bring grief

And from these kinds of devastation and battles, one also needs relief

So, When will there be Peace?

An answer to this question, an answer Please!

Okay, now I see that I read this backwards. I should have read this first, it makes the impact of the other story that much more stronger and wonderful. This is is really excellent... I feel like this one (and the answer to it) should be posted up in incoming for our clients to read, I think that would caught down on some of the recidivism.
