A bomb exploding in a civilian village,
killing the enemies loved ones,
laughing at someone else’s pain;
Hate.
An elderly couple holding hands
as they walk through the garden
paths of a nursing home;
Love.
A wilted rose lying shattered
against the cold, sharp etchings
of a black marble tombstone;
Death.
A newborn baby’s first cry,
a child skipping down a sidewalk,
the sun gleaming as breeze blows over water;
Life.
Leaving home and loved ones
to kill an enemy you do not know,
bombardments and bullets battering;
War.
A cloudless sky on a sunny day,
a daisy alone in a quiet green field,
being around those you love;
Peace.
