Peace is hard
Ego drives war
Power eats the innocence
Spits out graves
World suffers of peace of mind
But demagogues don’t sleep
They don’t dream ever
They plot destruction
In a warped utopian dystopia
It never ends well
Genocide and rubble
Where the bodies are buried

Hi @billykeed
Gr8 poem! It struck me as an interesting exploration into the nature of power and humankind's ability to abuse it time and time again despite the lessons history teaches us.
Thanks for sharing in The Ink well.
We are happy to have you here!
Thank you. Love the feedback
This is a brilliantly poignant piece.
Sad but true.
