Goodbye to wars

Just a while ago, we took our long awaited leap

Awake, aware we’re now living our dream

Wars are destroyed from the minds

No aftermaths, no outcries

Arms and weapons are resting in peace

In the museums and lexicons, o what a bliss

Unarmed people do not die on unaware streets like rats any more

Arms wide open; they stretch for the needy and the poor

Growth abounds, lives flourish

Hungry children are nurtured and nourished

Gone are the reasons for those worried wars

For those who shine in the sky like our scars

Changed has the challenged world.

Peace and love are now not just words

Radiating friendship beyond borders and boundaries

Free are they from the confines of dictionaries

Love and peace are shared for sure and for good

We have wealth and abundance of food.

On the stage, beyond masks, with life and nature

Differences are now playing a connected overture

On the same tolerant land, under the same forgiving sky

We bid adieu to wars, we say a final goodbye

The poem is in the reversible style; it can also be enjoyed by reading from the last line to the first. Once by following and respecting the law of gravity (laws of the land!) and once by moving your way upward, as though you are taking a leap. Enjoy!
