Haaa Haaa Haaa - Peace you say
It always seems so far away
As long as men t'wards evil sway
We'll not see Peace in our day
We have tried to keep War at bay
With fancy words to guide the way
The best laid plans that man doth lay
Until their hair is growing gray
And still we end up in a fray
We try and try to find a way
But in the end mankind will pay
Because Adam and Eve did disobey
Then Satan led us all astray
And wars continue till today ---
(No matter how much we pray)
Author notes
All the way from the gates of Eden to the battle of Armagedon there will be war.

A cheery little ditty.....
...and an even more uplifting A/N! Those Christians who believe in this kind of thing must think that when Christ told people to turn the other cheek, he was either wrong, or wasting his breath.

Thank You Edward
I wrote a article titled "Did Jesus Know What He Was Talking About ?" - lol - it was written tongue n' cheek - yes a lot of Christians either think He was wrong or He was wasting his breath - or he was high on something or just plain nuts - anyway thanks for the comment and compliment - I think you inspired me to write a poem about the "Turn The Other Cheek" - Bless God - Joe - dobar dan --------- peace

It is sad but this poem rings so true...

Thank You J -
Thanks for the applause and comment - true - sad but true ehhh - but this poem is not meant for us/you to cease praying - we are to pray without ceasing - I recall being asked to pray in the congregation one time - well I prated for an end to the Vietnam war - and in my prayer I didn't take sides - did my prayer bring that war to an end ? - Bless God - Joe - dobar dan ------------------------------------- peace

its sad really to think that theres nothing we can ever do to make things better... I think I still will have to put my faith in prayer and God and Hope someday the cycle stops. Best of luck in the contest my friend. I enjoyed reading your rhyme

It Is Sad Sean - For Sure
But as long as there is wickedness in high places we will always have wars and rumours (rumblings) of war - it is written - yes we should not give up on prayer for those that rule over us - and as long as they are in the devils pocket and wage war for no good reason - then we must keep the faith through it all - Bless God - Joe - dobar dan -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- peace -

Thank You Sister
I wrote this right on the puter - lol - my thoughts I guess - although we never ought to give up searching for peace as elusive as it is - perhaps we should wage war till we have peace ehhh? - lol - but thats the mindset we have - attributing our freedom and liberty to the miliyary - lol - pray for peace? nahhhhhhhhhh - get our the war machlne ------------------ Bless God - Joe - dobar dan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- peace

Ohhh!! You used the same rhyme all the way down the poem, I guess this needs great control over the language, something I lack.
I liked this, it has bitter truth in it and once one stops and thinks, it rings true.
U vil nwot coght meh.

Thank You Noor
I don't think this poem fits the contest - it was give our opinion of how we can achieve peace on Earth - perhaps if we were to beat all the weapons into plowshares and love our neighbour as ourselves - then maybe - yes I do write poems that rhyme all the way once in a while - thanks for the comment/compliment/applause - Joe - dobar dan ------------------------------- hugs
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh but I vil kought U - zen U vil b mein - hooo hooo
