Late last night I sat and wondered,
"Why this world such a warmonger?"
With war as an answer and peace discarded
I find myself losing heart and,
Then to me it all came clear,
"The answer lies where we appeared."
For man and wife were first to share
The communion of peace that hate did fear.
Not two boys who laughed and fought,
for competitive urges that bore naught.
Nor girls who spent their days in waste,
growing grapevines that flowered hate.
Instead a man whose lonesome self
Yearned the comfort from someone else.
Then lovers embrace guided him true
As a woman's touch showed him truth
Together as one they stood beside
And ways without war would abide
And soon thereafter we get a glimpse
Of men not brothers who held contempt
The breaking of piece as anger flared
All free nations would at once despair
For man and wife it should have stayed
And all else siblings who share caring gaze
Men amongst one another
Should then become brothers
As they fight not their own but for another
And the women who endeavour
The pain altogether
Are sisters in all but blood
Tis the family bond
A gift from beyond
That is key to release us from tears
The woman thus guided man
And he protected her hand
As they created life for one another
