⚔️🌿War and the Path to Peace

War leaves scars on land and soul,

Cities crumble, and hearts pay the toll.

Echoes of gunfire replace children’s cries,

Under the smoke, hope often dies.

Families torn, dreams set ablaze,

Innocence lost in a fiery maze.

The earth drinks blood, the skies weep gray,

And even the brightest sun seems far away.

But amidst the ruins, a whisper calls,

A voice that rises above broken walls.

“Let not hatred rule, let not fear stay,

For peace is a seed we must sow each day.”

Understanding, dialogue, the courage to forgive,

Are the paths by which all can truly live.

A handshake, a word, a heart open wide,

Can bridge the gaps that war tried to divide.

So let us learn from the battles of old,

From stories of pain that history told.

War may take much, but peace can restore,

A world united, suffering no more.
