ISN'T WAR EASY

insensitive words and thoughtless acts ,
Accusations without the facts,
A spiteful Tongue ,a twisted thought
and selfish deeds of every sort-
Isn't war easy?

Envy, hatred, fear and greed ;
the bitterness of hearts that bleed;
intolerance found around every corner,
The anguish and pain of the tearful mourner-
Isn't war easy?

The absence if loving, kindness and sharing;
The longing for solace , peace and caring.
Argumentd wilfully playing their part
Rending, tearing and breaking the heart-
Isn't war easy?

Covetousness, jealousy, mercenary gain;
Mindless acts that are clearly insane ;
Malice, cruelty, meanness and vice
And reaching the top at any price-
Isn't war easy?

Dictatorial behaviour, virulent plots,
The fanatical beliefs if a fee despots;
Hostility, racism, evil, disdain,
The simplicity and ease in which to cause pain-
Isn't war easy ?

Uncaring, unkindly, indifferent with life-
the law of the gun, the rule of the knife:
callousness, malevolence, enmity, hate,
A whim to destroy and to devastate-
Isn't war easy?

Benevolence, big-heartednesd, charity, a smile:
Compassions and kindliness, caring awhile,
Warmth, love, tenderness , concern,
sensitivity, generosity, when will we learn-
That peace is much easier?

If the heart touches a thought
And the thought touches a mind
And a mind touches a generation
and a generation reaches across the planet
Then the miraculous will come
and laughter, joy and kindness will abound
For we will at last have found ....,
PEACE
