Revenge is such an ugly word,
Vendetta, feud, so sad, absurd
As life is tough at best of times,
Just look at history for signs…
Our planet is all we have got
Why must we its edges rock?
Why can’t people pull together?
Conflict starts at end of tether…
A case in point: the Middle East
Always jeopardising Peace;
A powder keg with a short fuse
Whose politics makes headline news…
On the sidelines, we observe
The creation of huge curve,
Which could, if feelings run too high,
Overwhelm, so more souls die…
Why do we choose to live this way?
Allies form, then slip away
Our chessboard plays resentful pawns
And today this poem spawns!
