Peace Poem by Elena Sandu

war, the result of mankind's fears... and what we fear most are ourselves! your poem strikes the heart! good job!

i'm all for peace, though perhaps not at any cost. unfortunately i tend to think that there are times when war is the last deterrent to physical and/or mental bondage. there are too many people and too many who are willing to follow the lead/direction of warmongers****. [[ ***** war·mon·ger ˈwôrˌməNGɡər/ noun plural noun: war-mongers a sovereign or political leader or activist who encourages or advocates aggression or warfare toward other nations or groups. synonyms: militarist, hawk, jingoist, aggressor, belligerent the president's critics were quick to label him a warmonger ]] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - if soldiers are against killing or are too bothered by it, there are options they have. not necessarily attractive options however. thanks for sharing. :) bri

War is so cruel to anyone. If presidents, kings and prime ministers had to go with the troops and lead as old time generals their troops forward, we might see much less wars. It is hard to understand what soldiers have to go through and how they can cope. Let us all pray together for peace, peace and nothing but peace...

Yes soldiers too, are victims of war....great poem Elena.

I agree with everybody here, and yes to kill is very hardest thing.... if we have a weapon without kill people but to bomb the love and peace among people that will be better...but it such a dream for dream but for only can be dream eternally thanks! keep more love and peace for all world peace! ! ! _Unwritten Soul

Soldiers are the victims of war, too.
