A Remote Possibility

A remote possibility

 

Curtal quatrain format.

 

Must there be war for evermore

Or will we find a better way.

What is there that’s worth fighting for?

Today.

 

Some choose to fight for liberty.

Which has been far too long denied.

By tyrants militarily.
They lied.

 

Insisting that they lived to serve.

The peoples needs in every way.

Now meet the fate that they deserve.

I say.

 

That human nature is to blame.

It seems we cannot co exist.

That warfare is our favourite game.

We missed.

 

Every opportunity.

To bring about a lasting peace.

Regarding talk suspiciously.

We see.

 

Deceit behind the words they say.

We dare not trust our enemies.

That’s why there is no peace today.

We seize.

 

 

 

Every chance that we can see.

To overcome the enemy.

By stealth or militarily.

Maybe.

 

One day we’ll reach maturity.

And learn to talk instead of fight.

There is a possibility.

We might.
