WAR NO MORE

WAR NO MORE

It’s a bit naïve
to think
war no more.
Not in this world,
at least.

It’s a bit idealistic
to think
war no more.
Not with the way we handle
our self.

It’s a bit of a gamble
to think
war nor more.
Not for any money in the world
would I bet on it.

It’s a bit far fetched
to think
war no more.
Not if history has anything
to say about it.

Yet it is the one thing
I would choose over any other
if I could.

It is the one thing
I would impose upon the planet
if it were up to me who is free.

It is the one thing
I would really really really
really really really yearn for
if I thought it would do any good.

It is the one thing
my aching soul tells me
would make any god
proud of his children.

War no more.

(sigh….)
