Once upon a time
An extraordinary peace
No bonds, no treaty signed
No one blamed, none fined.
In absolute silence
Without bombastic words
Weapons of the world
Getting their place
In museums of all charming countries.
A do-not-touch tag attached
to those instruments
of wars and worries
For posterity to watch
How insane we were
killing ourselves mindlessly
In land, water and air.
Let today’s world see
Yesterday’s deadly destiny
In those grave asylums
We were committed to the crime
Once upon a time.
well one can only hope that humans will reach this level of promising peace unspoken treaties one day. at least.
It’s a walk into the future, a bedtime story with a once upon a time and happily ever after. Jokes aside, I have this firm belief that wars and worries will freeze, they’ll rest in peace with the weapons.
What an optimistic composition. How nice it would be if all that the poem says, comes true!!
To lend more beauty to the thought, apt phrases and choice of words.. a delightful read! To quote a few :
“instruments of wars and worries’
“Yesterday’s deadly destiny’
