Introduction

Troubled by the conflict dominating our lives I asked why? The answer is a question of meaning I present in "the poem", "the precis", "the essay" all titled "The Last Why". The other writings are derivatives. Thank you for sharing. Doug.E.Barr

WAR on PEACE

 800px-Army.mil-2007-03-21-084518.jpg

Let's have a war; we have the rules
Thus God won't think that we are fools.
They were conceived in Switzerland.
To keep war 'right', they are at hand.
It shows to all that we are wise
The killing to legitimize;
And killing all will be OK
As long as in a humane way.
We've said it is alright to hate
But only outside prison's gate.
In city streets one shot we see
A crime against humanity.
With wars like in Afghanistan
Those killed are just part of the plan
To rid the world of all we find
That seem a threat to peace of mind.

But war is just a veil so thin
We use to hide the threat within.
To win we think will leave us buoyed
But find it will not fill the void.
Don't fill the void! The wars will cease!
In all the world there'll be one peace.
When in biology one lives
The freedom from the void it gives.
Philosophies will turn to dust
If Nature we can learn to trust.
With nature we will end all strife,
Replacing war with peaceful life..

(afterthought..DEB)so what i cant spell, for those that might be anal:)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Your admitted inability to spell must be due to a faulty connection in the memory part of your brain. Your comments on my poems "Afterlife" and "War on Drugs" indicates to me the thinking part of your brain is working just fine. Thanks for this one. Doug.E.Barr
