Peace an illusion

POETRY

‘Charge brigades’ era are put to laid;

Soldiers long dismantled, ‘barricade’;

Of humans re-awaken from the past;

Preclusion of war, wide-ranging task.

Prejudice impregnates, ‘cold war’;

Birth of hatred infested, thus soar;

Peace an illusion, a myth foretell;

Event of warfare fatalities in hell.

We watched armed conflict with haze,

That the ‘warpaths’ are on for a blaze;  

Young children in biting cold they flee,

Fled their homes, tag as the ‘refugee’.

Now the Russians invaded Ukraine,

Censures, sanctions poured like rains;

‘Brute invader’, caused err and dreary;

On the guiltless folks weak and weary.
