Why Are We Enemies?

The War

cathiesblogs
You are the same as
me.
Though, you came from
another land
....another sea
Why couldn't we have
met at a different
circumstance?
You have a family, too?
see....
So do I !
Brothers, we are not !
But....
Why do we have to hate?
The reason....
Neither one of us really
know
Your Father....
My Father....
Is this why....
We are enemies?
Do we not have a right?
To Love....
To Care....
To Share....
To Forgive....

    woohoo! reminds me of the pokemon first movie's song, "brother, my brother, tell me what are we fighting for?" one of my favourite songs (who cares if it's associated with pokemon lol) i like anything that promotes tolerance like this. good job!

    And yet, absolute truth is absolutely true. And it must be defended.

    Very moving. War has been around for centuries and still they do not see that there is no winners at the end because the loss of life is great on both sides.

    If more people had a say than not, we wouldn't be at war - it's very unfortunate.
