Wars spread terror; <br />Wars cause horror; <br />Wars kill persons; <br />Wars maim people; <br />Wars pollute air; <br />Wars contaminate soil; <br />Wars destroy buildings; <br />Wars ravage cities; <br />Wars ruin countries; <br />Wars cause hatred; <br />Wars are expensive; <br />Wars escalate prices; <br />Wars create enemies; <br />Wars generate ill-will; <br />Wars instill mistrust; <br />Wars make the poor, poorer; <br />Wars make the world, <br />A difficult place to live in; <br />Don’t waste money on futile wars. <br /> <br />Love settles conflicts; <br />Love gets friends; <br />Love converts foes; <br />Love leads to dialogue; <br />Love spreads brotherhood; <br />Love brings lasting peace; <br />Love leads to progress; <br />Love is all-encompassing; <br />Love is the key to human problems; <br />Love rules the universe; <br />Love leads to heaven; <br />Stop the wars and love your brethren; <br />Science should improve man’s plight; <br />Unite against human calamities; <br />Fight diseases, poverty, and illiteracy; <br />Leaders should give up their ego; <br />The world should be free of fear; <br />Peaceful co-existence should bring all near; <br />Make the earth more habitable for all. <br />This is the world’s clarion call! <br />Copyright by Dr John Celes 3-30-2007<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/world-s-clarion-call-stop-all-wars-love-your-brethren/
