Sad World

by

Dr. Mark Winegar

I read an odd message today
And I still don’t understand it.
"Its a sad world
when only peace comes
at the end of a gun."

What do these words imply?
A desire to make war?
"Its a sad world
when only peace comes
at the end of a gun."

What do you expect
to come from the end of a gun?
"Its a sad world
when only peace comes
at the end of a gun."

Maybe the author is mistaken?
Perhaps his grammar is wrong?
"Its a sad world
when only peace comes
at the end of a gun."

Maybe it was a lament
That should have read,
Its a sad world
when guns come
to end the peace.

It might be a statement
On the condition of man,
Its a sad world
when guns must come
to make the peace.
