I was born after the second war <br />Then at age three, another had began <br />The tragic conflict was not very far, <br />Solved by dividing a nation of one. <br /> <br />Conflict in this world somehow prevailed <br />In pretended peace, a war had grown cold, <br />Lust for power and for territory failed <br />To silence the weapons, as Death unfolds. <br /> <br />Lost lives were merely recorded numbers <br />Shattered families torn by their grief, <br />Mocked by the greed for control and power, <br />The unity of nations was a bond so brief. <br /> <br />Gone is the hope for a concept of peace <br />When men magnify their differences, <br />Diversity of countries will never cease <br />We must all live together in mutual progress. <br /> <br />It is when men mar their motives - <br />Fighting for borders, conflict is birth, <br />Blinded to 'Take' and not to 'Give' <br />It's the real cause of War on Earth. <br /> <br /> <br />Copyright~~~ Cynthia Buhain-Baello ~~~ 04.09.13<br /><br />Cynthia BuhainBaello<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/no-more-war-7/
