Woes of War

Old history colluding with current economics for a new geography
Future blurred by the present reflections of past shadows
Perspective clouded by bitterness, lessened yet by fevered demography
Daily doses of death surgically doctored by feuding foes.

Professing peace, proscribing proliferation & prescribing persecution
Protecting & preserving a people, prosecuting & purging a populace
Resurrecting religion, retaining residency & resource redistribution
Rebuilding & revitalizing a region, restraining & razing a race.

As stated by Mahatma Gandhi, one of the great sages
"An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind", still remains true
Solution to the problem has been the golden rule throughout the ages
"Do unto others, as you would have done unto you".
