Violence erupts <br />As pressure builds inside <br />No warning, no alarm siren <br />Sudden spurt of lava <br />Effacing life, love and dreams <br />War drums, grenades, gun shots <br />Fire spitting dragons of tanks <br />Sizzling missiles and bombs <br />Screams, wails and bloodshed <br />Thousands fall dead <br />Thousands, maimed and crippled <br />Pale faced grimace of death! <br /> <br />Volcanic violence blasts the Earth. <br />Blights life. <br />Flee away from its course! <br />Seek shelter in the bastions of peace, <br />Before it sweeps you headlong, <br />Charring you to death, <br />As unsuspecting flies in a flame! <br /> <br />Milton the blind bard of England sang <br />"Peace hath her victories <br />No less renowned than war" <br />Let no man take up arms against another <br />For when peace dwells within <br />There shall be peace without!<br /><br />Valsa George<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/violence-38/
