Rather than War

Unceasing conflicts, struggles, disputes and clashes

He who lived in the past had experienced such.

Persisting fear dwelling inside humankind

For there is just one answer to every strife

And that is no less than to have a ruthless war.

Endless bloodshed in every nation, in every state

Killing millions of people in such unforgivable haste.

The Battle of Marathon, Battle of Salamis, and Defeat of Spanish Armada

The Seven Years, Thirty Years, and Hundred Years War

Some that defined our history but left a haunting scar.

Every king had always vied for power

Putting everything at risk in whatever manner.

Then it became evident why there’s no tranquility

Those warring states lack a certain defining facility

And that is no more than the practice of diplomacy.

Emissaries, nuncios, attachés and diplomats

Sent on some special missions, duties and whatnots.

While diplomacy finds such accepted solutions

It goes beyond settlement of contentions

Giving us a world of a more peaceful condition.

That is the picture of what the world was

And it is pretty obvious what should last.

Over costly and horrifying bloodbath

There is this another way of resolving a combat

And that is plainly having talks rather than war.
