Will There Come A Time Poem by Francis Duggan

Will there come a time when war will be a fading memory
Of an unenlightened age of human history
When those of different beliefs will live in harmony
Though in my lifetime this may never be
The people we choose to rule us more of us does say
Than any words can it does seem this way
Of the sort of World we live in we have stated our case
Since we voted them into power in the first place
Due to loss of many lives wars even so called winners never win
And since it is from an abuse of power that most wars do begin
Then those we vote to power for their mistakes should not take all of the blame
For their wars we must also feel some guilt and shame
There may come a time in the Human World when peace will reign supreme
Though sad to say not in my life-time it would seem.
