War And Peace

War is a clumsy act, the mayhem aimed to tame:
a slash, blast, crash and hit
agendum meant to maim.
Peace is a subtle act, the mantra aimed to move:
a cool, calm, fair and just
procedure meant to soothe.
War is magnified hate, unleashed devastation:
a vicious, mean attack,
cruel extermination.
Peace is augmented like, unmitigated care:
a serene, kind accord,
equality in flare.
War is the last resort, unqualified demise:
ruinous faith collapse,
dissension's final prize.
Peace is the balm of hope, emollient cerate:
oil on stormy waters,
dismay to dissipate.
