endless war – v2

ancient conflicts, exploding,
in terror, in war, in genocide,
the struggle far from over,
back before Abram’s time…
 
endless war, dividing,
pulling apart this ancient land,
a struggle between brothers,
children of nations, two legacies…
 
what can be the solution,
between these warring factions,
innocents lost in the slaughter,
blood soaking this soil…
 
endless war, continuing, relentless,
weapons merely growing more deadly,
seeds of this conflict, ancient,
children of nations, legacies…
