Shadows loom larger

As an unsteady peace wanes.

One side posturing,

Flexing behind high fences,

Extorting the world with fear.

 Brothers and sisters,

Born of the same lineage

Cry from the sidelines

Over a 60 year old feud,

Asking…Will it ever end?

    A history of feuds can keep neighbors worlds apart…So sad.

      It is sad and unfortunately we are not completely blameless in this matter. I just hope that all parties will tone down their rhetoric for all of our sakes.

      I couldn’t agree more, that includes us in the U.S. as well.

    Wonderful write, right on point…. something I seriously doubt the leaders (including ours) ever even consider. Like Germany and our own Civil War… war against families… So sad!

      Yes it is sad, families long separated living as adversaries. Thank you for the nice compliment, I appreciate it very much.
