I hear from others all day about the positives that can come from wars and how they view the future and I'm here to tell ya that people are changing. Maybe a step at the time...but the world is a little more postive than they were yesterday and the small voices are teaming up for one heck of an echo of peace.
Love,
Susan

Yes ... on the funeral pyres of stupidity and ignorance man will eventually rest if he doesn't get on his knees and look up and reach out.

Karla, this was as powerful as an exploding volcano. BRAVA!

We teach history not to gather facts and dates but to learn of past mistakes. But history repeats itself. No, we've learned nothing. Good point, Karla, Victor

This is a power pen write Karla and very much where I'm at in my poem. Humanity is responsible for all the ills in the world and only Creator knows what to do with us! Of course some are more guilty than others ,but in our own ways we carry wars on with family and friends the same way never coming to terms with solutions. Sad truths!Excellent write!...ET

Karla, it surely seems "we" have not, although I refuse to group all mankind as "we." Short, succinct and scary!

No, otherwise there wouldn't be wars called by old men to send the young to their death.
