No Appropriate Words
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
No appropriate words to hear them heard.
Can be selected and picked.
To then express,
A sadness to attempt to prevent...
The current events occurring these days.
Who...
Has those right words to say?
Faith and belief kept positive to keep,
Takes more to open closed doors to peace.
Once thought within reach.
And wanted.
Yet...
Something has begun to haunt that dream.
Leaving many awakening,
From nightmarish screams.
Disbelieving their need to wish,
Peace to want.
Now gone to fantasize a reality that taunts.
No appropriate words,
Can anyone pick to choose...
That today will be accepted.
To expect them used to remove all conflicts.
Abusing emotions felt by everyone.
Here, there and the World over.
Although...
Always there is hope.
Always there are prayers to say.
And always there will be,
More than one way to achieve peace.
To realize without humanity,
What purpose is WAR?
And for who is the fighting for to leave,
Peace left meant to mean if unknown!?
