Peace Better Than War



Peace Better Than War



Peace Is Better
Than War
And War
Is Not Holy
For It Causes
Great Pain
Mass Destruction
And Desolatioon

All Must Understand
The Truth of Life
Of The Meaning 
Of Humility
Of Humanity
Sharing Planet Earth
In Peaceful Coexistence

War In Exchange For Peace
Needs To Be Waged
Only As Last Resort
To Fight For Right
Of Existence
When Neighbours
Fire Nuisance Rockets
Like Terror Thugs
To Disturb The Peace
Safety Security
Of Border Towns
Families and Children

Greater Terror 
For Feeble Terror
Must Be
THE TELLING MESSAGE
OF POETIC JUSTICE
To Stop 
Terrifying Barrage
After Barrage
Of Crude Ersatz Rockets
Menace 

More Than 60 Rockets
Fired After Eight Long Years
On Christmas Eve
Was The Last Straw

The Swift
Answer
Was To Bomb
Blast Flush
Them Out
Of Hideouts
Human Shields
Civilian Bases
And Kill them All
For Evil
Committed Tolerated
Patiently In Silent Fury
And Destroy
The Terrorists' Strongholds
And Arms-smuggling Tunnels

Israel's Bombs
For Hamas' Rockets
Tit-For-Tat
Now Result
In Gaza Humanitarian Crisis

Emergency Aid
Are Being Shipped
To Ease
The Anguish 
Of Sufferers

The United Nations
Red Cross
Human Rights Watch
And Others
Are Busy
Offering Help

Nations Around 
The World
Watch In Horror
Daily Graphic Images
Of Ghastly Gruesome
Victims
And Shattered Dreams

Superficial Screens Show
Gaza Tragicomedy
Clearly Crowds Routs
Human Reason

But Look Deeper ~
Pause and Ponder ~
Ask: Why?

Why Mobilize
Such Formidable Fire Power?

Why Organize
Massive Jets Tanks
Ground And Naval Forces
And Unleash Release
Full Iron Fist Fury?

Why???

When Patience
Runs Out
All-Out War
Seems The Only 
Intelligent Solution

Each Side
Claims The Right
To Fight
For Just Cause
Like Brothers
Heirs Struggling
Fiercely For
Rightful Throne
On Sandy Patch

So Who
Is Right?
Who Is Wrong?

Is It
A Just Right Fight
Or Wrong Naked Fright?

As We Watch
With Deep Sadness
Hundreds of Victims
Are Killed And Thousands
More Innocent Civilians
Injured And Made Homeless
We Pray
For Truth, Justice, Right
And Reason
To Prevail

NOW SPEEDILY
THE UNITED NATIONS,
SET UP TO PROMOTE
AND FOSTER WORLD PEACE,
MUST FIND THE BEST WAY

*To Put A Halt
  To The Hostilities
  And Impose Ceasefire
  With UN Peacekeeping Forces

*To Resolve Issues And Problems
  Related To Israel-Palestine 100-Year War

and

*To Prevent Recurrence Of
  Further Bloodshed and Suffering
  In Lasting Peace Settlement
  In The Middle East

Instead of
Fear And Frustration
Positive Effective Measures
Should Be Taken
To Root Out
The Causes
Of Conflicts

Hopefully
Bright Minds
Sincere Hearts
Would Exercise
Wise Counsel
Sound Judgement
And Sensibility
To Work Out
Serious Responsible
Practical Solutions

Once And For All
Both Antagonists
Must Show
Genuine Give And Take
To Clear Up
Historic Animosity
And Start Afresh
To Care Share
Holy Land
As True Good Samaritans
Kind Neighbours!!!
