Violence can’t solve all problems permanently; <br />Violence begets violence with upward trends; <br />No one dare grab a land most violently; <br />Better you talk over matters like friends. <br /> <br />Evil-doers will meet an evil end; <br />There ought to be some fairness in one’s words; <br />A righteous nation sure God will defend; <br />You can’t sow seeds of war and send peace-birds! <br /> <br />When truth/ justice prevails on earth ev’n now, <br />By threat of bullets, one can’t win a war; <br />Dialogue can sort out things when done with love; <br />Deceiving minds can only one’s name mar. <br /> <br />Violence can’t get an inch of land hereaft; <br />Nor can scud-missiles/ nuclear-tipped air-craft! <br /> <br /> 7-27-2001<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-violence-can-t-solve-things/
