We come to love in fear and perhaps too late

Who has lived without the threat of war
Our war’s ongoing,makes us what we are
Recovering from the last and making sure
We’re ready for the  next aggressive “cure”

From lover’s cruel  to Holocaust Hell’s flame
We do not enjoy peace within our homes
While  in the arms of love we  plot  escape
Intimate demands  are feared far less than rape

From states’ aggressive greed to married hate
We come to love in fear and perhaps too late
Who wrote the script ,who acts their part alone?
The Play  returns,repeats as  humans mourn

Who can bare their  tender, living hearts
Before the ruinous  “wars  of mercy” start?
