We eat, breath, sleep, die the same,
So, how are we different?
The colour of our red blood unites,
Yet, we are at loggerheads.
Since, the dawn of human civilization,
We have fought and only fought,
Shed blood, killed each other.
We haven't yet found peace, why, I wonder?
We meet, release peace-sign, the white doves,
Then go back and aim at each other, our spy-drones.
Will these useless battles ever end?
Will peace ever truly get the chance?
So very true that there have been battles since the beginning of time. I too wonder whether real world peace will ever be achieved; but perhaps we can develop more pockets of peacefulness in the world with time.
ReplyDeletepockets of peacefulness....ah sounds dreamy...:-)
Deleteif we would focus more on what connects us than what separates us, the world would be much more peaceful indeed...ugh...still so much to learn..yes..
ReplyDeletewhat connects are the most prime n basic things, but we only notice the superficial ones that separates....very rightly said. thanks Helen!
Deletehow are we different? that is def a heart issue...there are those that take and never give back...so while i think we do have to focus on the connections, it takes two to tango...
ReplyDelete:-)
DeleteThere are too many against peace to always quench the hope... and differences are easier to see than what unites...
ReplyDeletethe day we see the stuff that unites, world will be a much better place.
DeleteIt always seems the only time peace truly gets a chance is when we have a common enemy to go fight.
ReplyDeletewho is the 'enemy' I wonder?
DeleteWhen will these useless battles end? a very apt question asked but are there any answers to it?
ReplyDeletehopefully we find the answers........................SOON!!
DeleteYes there are answers. Listen to Lennon-McCartneythree tracks " Give peace a chance" ; "Pipes of Peace" and of course "Imagine". They will surely affect you and I'm not joshing. The next time a fight breaks out in front of you-adult juveniles-tell them something like " hey guys-why fight? You have a diff of opinion. Sort it out"..Maybe out of 10 cases,even if 5 listen to you, we are a middle class of 40 million Gen X-ers. I don't know about you but I used to give exams in hand once, make trunk calls etc and now, 5 mnts back essayshark.com called me.
ReplyDeleteWe are the generation (within 20 years-age gap?) that have seen it all. So, I think it can be done. I'm not saying everyone will be Ram. There will always be Ram and Shyam. But disputes can be and will be settled amicably,egos won't matter etc..think it in a global sense-that's peace!
thats an interesting perspective...thanks for sharing your views :-)
DeleteHumans will never change. Let us hope for the best!
ReplyDeletewe can only hope, though its all bleak that things will ever get better...if it didnt for centuries in past....will it in future? i doubt....thanks anyways @Akash
DeleteTo your last line-not possible because everybody is motivated by personal gain and desire.
ReplyDeletehmmm.....yeah perhaps true!! thanks for reading :-)
