Birth of War Death of Peace

Birth of War Death of Peace

 

 

Violence in the name of peace.

 

Struggle and strife

For the sake of

Comfort and calm.

 

Conflict

Is when the power and prestige of the elite

 

Clash

With the united will of the people

 

The cost of peace is high

Its value measured in blood

 

From the womb of war

peace is birthed

 

and like a phoenix grown old

 

Fragile and weak

 

Conflict from within sets it ablaze.

 

From the ashes of the dead

Forsaken

Peace

 

War

Has risen.
