Sputtering peace

wrongful and cunnig lies everywhere

The woe of fire is pulling the dark
     Rising, growing to clutch the spark
                 The cloaked spark
                      To enshrine the falsehood ark
         To blind the faithful mark
                                                            Peace is stifled in a shady lark
                         And war is honored in the impure monarch

Politicians who say one thing and do another...an age old problem that seems to worsen every year. Good rhyming and well expressed views in this one. Lydi**

Like this, it is not easy to sustain a rhyme over some many lines...

Really great poem, Latifa. I like it a lot. I think the last two lines were the most powerful. They have a great ring to them...so quotable, so memorable. Thanks for sharing!

When led by two-faced leaders. This poem is alive and well in our world. Peace is a word rarely spoken. No profit in peace. You said a lot in the short poem. The title was perfect. Thank you for the excellent poetry.

Peace is stifled in a shady lark
And war is honored in the impure monarch

Beware the man who would have you kill.
