About War!

Bitter conflict!

The earth is crying blood

Life is dying!

People are turning against each other

We turn against ourselves and walk away.

Never to return?

Ever so gently, softly

We turn around and walk together, bleeding.

Slowly, injured life is healing.

A mark remains,

Yet becomes hidden by the spoils of life.

Life likes living.

Do we know what life is?

We certainly don't know without it!

Does it know what it is?

It only likes living.

For what?

For us to realise this!

Ha! and yet we destroy it

carelessly, thoughtlessly.

One instant,

life is going to destroy itself.

Because it is lonely living

in a world where

we do not like living with it.

 

The way we came about together

- one giving one receiving.

But now it is a different story.

A story that might not be told

in life, except death.

Who are we to pass judgement?

but fools in the eyes of Truth!
