War is a division of ideas that demand a right
It separates the shortest distance between foresight
It draws a line in stone hearts refusing other freedoms
It says “it is right” for all who dwell, yet it sends utter dread
War is a grave of lingering souls found in mausoleums
Though it is temporary, it causes thermonuclear warheads
War is a battle for peace of mind
It causes neurons to fire unendingly
Crazed are they who war day by day
Unstoppable images and accusations play
Changing health of those and their chemistry
Battling others for no reason at all it seems
And war is a word
It is a feeling of men who are disturbed
Who yield their battles on an innocent world
Finding peace is the answer often beyond comprehension
But without earnest seeking mankind might find extinction
But these few men can’t bridle their urge
Often they lead others into their absurd
And war is because of a mental disorder
Selfishness and hatred of lovely brothers
It is unkind; it is hatred where in there’s narcissism
Seeking itself and manifesting nihilism
War is not pretty but is repulsive
It is in itself, ungodly terrorism
War is the opposite of peace
Wherein a soulless creature who has no sleep

Why is it always the case that
The few men who can’t “bridle their urge” are messing it up for the rest of us?😩 Great post.

Yet Trump does not want to let grand parents come into America who live in other countries. There are more that just physical wars. Their are wars of minds, religions, beliefs and thoughts. A war is a two-sided wall with opposing sides. The same poles of magnets reject each other. Opposites don’t attract but oppose in many cases. An atom has protons, electrons and neurons. What we need is a effective catalyst. It can aid and cause the reaction to take place. Yet, it is never altered in and of itself. The catalyst never rubs anything wrong or causes any friction. We need a White House and Congress full of catalysts. What do you think? Jim Horn.

Exactly. I see that you picked that up in my poem. It is about personal battle within and outside

It is always within trying to get outside by fighting its way out. It is Fraud’s super conscience element of a personality. Resistance is a significant aspect of electricity. We were not born with it but it became a learned behavior. https://www.poetrysoup.com/poets/top_100_poets_most_poems_all_time.aspx Read my latest poems. James Horn
