Problem with peace


Problem with peace
it is so hard to find
and when found, too hard,
far too hard for man to contain
that of hate and hurt inside.

So short a life and yet a war preferred
what a loss to a mind so rich
to limit intelligence to guns and war
when a peace creatively explored
is so enriching, life sustaining –

Man can never be complete
and yet here we are repeat and deplete
as war drums again do beat.
