Pacific Pacifism

So, It boils down to this:
Religion
Power
Money
Politics:

These, the recurring causes
That justify the constant squabbling
And hostility between nations
Who in all capability, could refrain from doing so.

Surely as global intelligence, by now, someone
would realise that we have been warring
and killing
and taking for reasons that
Do
Not
Count.

Imagine a resolve in which people had no passion or cause to fight for
and each country and each culture
respects other countries and other cultures,
and understands that we are different for reasons, and we don’t need to fight because we
might just destroy ourselves.

Fighting amongst each other like pathetic school children.
Black and white footage of soldiers returning home,
Patriotism rife and loves embrace on train station.
Platforms where people flood with tears
at the simple joy of seeing each other alive.
I fear our world has acclimatized to living at war so
Much so, that when asked
To join a war that we aren’t involved in
We accept it like cake on a platter
Because war is the next step up from resolve
And now its just nature, habit,

The cause.

That makes each country fight and want to kill
and conquer and destroy
and as we proceed through these storms,
In these closing statements, I argue the point:

Let the people beg to differ and as we set aside our differences
and assemble our own army united we can
disarm this Weapon of Mass Destruction
that we call ‘Justice‘.
For the present
future of our next generation to speak and be heard
To follow a route towards universal co-operation.
