Maybe Someday

Maybe

Someday, there won’t be wars,

All this blood will not be lost.

We’ll realize how much it all cost

Not only the pennies or the lives,

The loss of humanity that we’ll all have caused.

Maybe

Someday, we’ll stop murdering the future

The Aylans and the Omrans, our own

Too young to grasp the horrors we have grown

In this beautiful world of ours, our precious abode

Marred by violence, run by criminal crowns.

Maybe

Someday, there will be peace all around,

When weapons will only be in the chapters on history.

Lost in the annals of the terrible past, the mystery

Of why we chose to hate rather than love aloud

And why we let them burn it to the ground.

Maybe one day, there won’t be wars,

All this blood will not be lost.
