War and peace



War and Peace

Love and loss,
Struggle and pride,
Treachery and morality,
Innocents and depravity.

War!
Leads to deviation
Brutality and immorality,
But brings out the enduring human spirit.

Peace!
Enduring in grace,
Silent in the soul,
And persistent in life.

Out of sheer chaos,
Comes unknown strength,
A everlasting love,
A innocents turned into maturity.

Guns and cannons,
Swords and knives,
Create blood and death.

But out of this,
Brings speculation and examination,
A hopefully grasp,
Thoughts and prayers.

War and peace oddly brings us living together.
And someday  we will learn.
