All Quiet on the Western Front

Remarque wrote.

They left for war as boys

never to return as men.

All Quiet on the Eastern Front

Johnston ordered

They return home

wondering why they were sent

All Quiet on the Southern Front

Mandela released.

Reconciliation born

Rainbows everywhere.

All Quiet on the Northern Front

Dewar’s legacy

Scotland’s parliament at last

Paid for by generations still to come

All Quiet in the Middle East?

Soon. Please God, Allah,

Stop,

Listen to eachother

Stop killing.

Listen to Remarque and Mandela, be inspired by Dewar and turn the other cheek as did Johnston.

Please let me be able to alter this last verse in 2005.
