The End Of War Poem by david lessard

The End Of War

Rating: 5.0


The end of war is not so far away,
The Prince Of Peace is closer too;
Before we kill each other in this play,
We've much to learn and more to do.

The world's a stage, old Willie said,
And each actor and actress has a role;
and though old Willie is now long dead,
His words live on, as does his parted soul.

Mine is to share a thought or two,
To spread the love and joy I've found;
To lift a heart that's down and blue,
To scatter laughter and happiness 'round.

To sing a song, that calms your fears,
To still the hurt that you have known;
To kiss away the turmoil and the tears,
To tell that your dreams, they have not flown.

To wish away the midnight sorrows,
and banish demons from your doors;
To give to you the promise of tomorrows,
With these small things, we'll end the wars.

Pray to the Prince Of Peace for blessings,
Give Him the Honor and the Glory;
Through times of trials and times of testings,
His will, will be the end and final story.

You gotta read your Shakespeare, david, and not include your own desires about the 'end of war.' OK? You seem to have some adolescent understanding of both Shakespeare and war! The bard wrote about our inclinations and desires through the centuries, and he has proved to be on the mark 99.9 % of the time, right? We are on the verge of World War III, right?
