DIALOGUE WITH THEM

Posted byAbiogbaolusholaPosted inUncategorizedTags:,

What could you try for the first time?

Bringing them to the table

of dialogue,

Persuading their eyes to see

their terror,

Being unleashed on

innocent minds,

I mean the victims of war

in the Eurasia,

With glad heart will I welcome

the prince of Russia to sit

next to that of Ukraine,

At the same table would I will

invite the emperor of Hamas

as well as the most noble

Rabi of the Israeli,

That we might share our differences,

And reach a reasonable compromise,

We must end this flow of blood,

Our rivers are becoming red,

Lifeless bones are too many

on our streets,

Widows and orphans are

on the multiplying side

of our equations,

Orphanage homes no longer

admit new intakes,

This war must stop.

Weapons of war need to rest,

Least we put our populace

in jeopardy,

And our cities turned to hills of

dead bones,

That we might reason together,

That we might swallow our prides

and bury our arrogance,

Not everyone is blessed with

private jet,

To fly away with families and

friends to corridors of peace,

Why should we hide our own

loved ones in safety and put

the lives of the vulnerable at

jeopardy of war,

Why?

We must stop this madness

before it turned against our

household with full force.

This war must stop.

I will and again try to call the

gladiators of war to table

of dialogue

I will not mind if it fails.

  6. Dialogue and communication is indeed of utmost importance, especially in such scenarios. But along with that, it’s also very important that after such meetings and negotiations, the parties involved don’t break the agreements made.

    In some of these conflicts and wars, there has been a pattern of some parties consistently going against and violating the agreements made, as well as repeatedly claiming to take a certain stand/position, but then acting in the opposite manner.

      1. Yeah, the warmongers are extremely consumed by their war-profiteering and some by their strong, irrational racism and hate against people of other religions and cultures.

  8. Ate seafood my entire growing up life where I lived along the coast until I turned 21. I was on board a ship in the Navy and got violently Ill to my stomach that evening. Thought I would die. Thought maybe it was just food poisoning, but no. Haven’t been able to tolerate since.
