IN THIS AGE OF TECHNOLOGY AND RESEARCH WHY CAN'T WE OUT GROW THE ANTIQUITY OF WAR? WILL WE EVER AGREE TO DISAGREE IN WORD NOT DEED?
BOMBS ERUPTING IN THE ATMOSPHERE LIGHTING UP THE DARKENED SKY
SWARMS OF LIKE ATTIRED BEINGS CROUNCHED PRAYING NOT TO DIE
ON FOREIGN LANDS SO FAR FROM HOME AND LOVED ONES
HOW DID THEY COME TO BE HERE, THESE DAUGHTERS AND SONS
TAKING OATHS TO PROTECT THE RIGHTS OF PEOPLE BACK HOME
IT WAS SIMPLY A WAY OF EARNING A LIVING FOR SOME
OTHERS CRAVED THE ADVENTURE AND EXCITEMENT OF WAR
IN THESE WAR TORN COUNTRIES MOSTLY POPULATED BY THE POOR
HOW REALISTIC IS IT TO BELIEVE THAT ONE DAY WARS WILL CEASE
AND ALL MANNER OF PEOPLE WILL FINALLY LIVE IN PEACE
THAT RELIGION AND DIFFERENCES CAN BE SOLVED
BY LIKE MINDED CITIZENS INTELLIGENT AND RESOLVED
TO STOP THE INHUMANITY OF WAR
During my time in the service, I asked myself this question many times...my conclusion is this...as long as there is one person filled with greed who is able to attain a level of influence, whether it be religious or political, the threat of war's insanity will always be a part of mankinds existance.
This is a very well written piece...keep up the good work.

There is no answer any of us could give I feel that would in fact be correct. It does seem to be humankinds odyssey of destruction to itself if we look at ourselves throughout history, so sadly to me this means World Peace will occur when current humankind is gone and a NEW MORE EVOLVED RACE OF HUMANKIND is in place! Very Thought and Conversation Provoking Work!

As long as man is on the planet there will never be peace. There will be a lot of fools thinking it will happen, but nowhere in history is it proven to be true and yet each generation follows the fool. Nice work.
I feel we will always strive for peace but the human mankind will never aquire that form of blissful peace till time is gone.

A question with an answer, Will world peace ever come? To my opinion, Yes it will. but not in this system of things. i do read the bible and it tell me this "Man has dominated man to hi own injury". For world peace to come, there must be some one other than MAN who can deliver us from war, and i strongly belive that one is GOD. Thanks for sharing.
