Fighting For Peace

Fighting For Peace

When considering what has come to pass

Is it illusion lasting peace is within our grasp ?

Discontent always present at how things are

Generations striving to overcome affects of war

Conflict commonplace throughout the ages

It is with itself that mankind constantly rages !

Different opinions battling hard for supremacy

Division and persecution leading to abject misery

Is it a dream that a new way to exist is possible ?

Is the self-destruction of our species inevitable ?

Is it to be that our race will finally see the light ?

It's a paradox, for a resolution harder must we fight.

Good write Richard, I for one think waging war for peace only makes things worse but at this point the issues have rooted so deep it is impossible for either side to pull out sacrificing many innocent in the process. Lot of debatable subjects on this write well done my Love and Respect.

You must fight evil to create peace. You can not negotiate with evil.

I chose an Eisenhower quote that really makes a point ! (image)

Thanks for leaving a comment my friend ! Best wishes !  :)

Thats what makes it so debatable my friend, I agree that you must fight evil I just don't believe war brings peace, and I see why you chose Eisenhower's quote because it's a good one.
