Making The World A Safer Place Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

If humanity truly aspires, to globally evolve interact,
aspires to make the world a better safer place, for all people;
then would we, should we, not cooperate to fight crime?

Should we create an International Criminal Court
a permanent tribunal to prosecute individuals;
for genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes,

and the crime of aggression against other nations?

Would this help stop wars, aid the cause of world peace?
Should we cooperate internationally, to stop crimes of aggression?
Would this be an effective aid, in wars against terrorism?

Rejoice global peace loving nations, have indeed created,
supported in law, such an International Criminal Court.
The International Criminal Court, the ICC, currently it

cannot, will not; be able to exercise
jurisdiction over the crime of aggression;
in any way before the year 2017 but

slowly steadily we are making progress,
in the right direction, yet still the question
lingers, is progress fast enough to save us?
