To What End Begins Peace Again



To what end begins peace defended,
Once remembered to have and keep it again.
As a value that has worth.
Saving humanity from an undeserving,
Repeating of agony.
And escalated sorrow.
Paralyzing to normalize a way of life,
To accept and expect on Earth.
As if to prioritize and subject,
Everyone to suspect...
Themselves to be next without objecting.

Nowhere yet,
Has there been in the Universe...
Another place like Earth.
To experience and live,
Times like these to believe war and conflicts...
Can begin with them to end.
Done to declare,
An official winner somewhere.
Although nowhere known,
In this reality shown.
Does a winner to witness, observed and see.
Appear near an horizon,
Inwhich war, division and the end of humanity.
Promises to leave shelter to live in.
Food to eat.
Or air to breathe that could possibly leave,
Anyone left cheering a victory!

Unless...
Power to have it to grab and behold.
Remains in the lieing eyes of those,
Blinded by the blasting light...
Of their impending to come self destruction!

To what end,
Does peace begin...
Again!
