RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: WAR
Relative Pain
What Iran experienced in four weeks
Ukraine has suffered for four long years
And Gaza has suffered for nearly three
The time for peace is long past near
While all eyes were turned to Iran
The way of the world goes on and on
The passage of time does not hold still
No matter how many are killed
Humans adapt to all manner of hell
That does not mean that all is well
Children will play in a pile of rubble
But we do not live in a bubble
Open your eyes to all these wars
Just imagine they’re at your door
They are open wounds we need to mend
The world must demand an end
The spoils of war can go on no longer
All civilized nations must come together
Institutions of peace must be stronger
To banish all wars forever
