Tanka: Dreaming | Truelove |Peace

Dreaming | Truelove |Peace

why not peace… why war
imbeciles… mindless morons
blemished power… rife
warmongers… instigators
dictating who lives… who dies
~~
why war… why not peace
how can armies slay their own
one country… peoples
gave power to one… to late
realization… corruption
~~
love… bleeding… forlorn
broken hearts scattered… the pain
unrequited… dead
deep breaths… ones life depends
truelove is out there
~~
feel… truelove beating
eyes filled with tears of passion
our love… truelove found
now we look to a future
peace… it is out there
~~
are we dreaming… peace…
found it hidden in our hearts
to spread the word… peace
the world… it has been waiting
far… far to long… rejoice…
~~
nature… life depends
can peace reset it… all hope
a future for all
where natural is the way
dreaming… but maybe… one day
