Analysis of Where's The Harmony



WHERE'S THE HARMONY?
What price peace it can't be bought,
Who appreciates history and the lessons taught??
Year after year it's the same old thing,
Wars and fighting and destruction they'll bring!!

Throughout the World no harmony at all,
Bombs and rockets they rain and fall,
Who's right or wrong it doesn't matter much,
Greed lust and power I'd rather not touch.

Nature still exists if you give it a chance,
Casually look about give freedom a glance,
Study the raindrops fresh air and a breeze,
Observe green pastures also flowers and trees.

Don't be embroiled in politics and strife,
Consider the children and give them a life,
What sort of example is portrayed and shown,

When all threy see is how masacres have grown?

stan brierly

I have been writing poems for forty years and written about all sorts of things. Somehow I get creating streaks and can write up to 4 or 5 poems at once of varying subjects. I find it is a good way to record events of the day and bring history to life.The mental aspect is a balance against keeping fit,work and life in general. more…
