Draw a Line

DRAW A LINE By: William S. Labtis To draw a line there must be a justification As to divide takes a distinction/ qualification from Like a demarcation line - what is yours not mine Just be this line drawn with eloquence and purpose From post to post , so let it be known by parties Legally : To Whom It May Concern and Presents Must had been governed, generation to generation It must have been a true right and a God given. Drawing a line is a human act designed to be true Is guided by a mighty hand, the Almighty To make it fairly and squarely concrete To everyone rich or poor served with dignity Which one you stay or sign it must be in between a line______ So conspicuously known that parties abide And no one would go wrong always the right with distinctness and direction HELP US .OH LORD WITH THY HAND, HEART AND SOUL! By not following this line nation against nation encroaching/fighting History has its toil like Germany divided into two Berlins- West and East - the Iron Curtain Fighting each other until lately issues contained becoming one nation The Great Wall of China distinguishing which one to Red China or Taiwan But till now remarkably becoming two nations the great wall exists and each one threatens Foremost the wall thus establishing a line between them So, nobody rule over the other despising who would reign And peace at bay until where and when it shall end? Today. social upheavals and inequities dominates Political and economic imbalance are at stakes Fight for survival even racial and religious differences are make-up questions Money, fuels and nuclear arms sometimes are instruments for supremacy - no amount of intercession Bloodshed and collateral damages on both sides are on the rise So long as who is strong and diplomatic ties sacrificed New forms of like excessive power and power of the guns Perpetuate themselves- this line drawn between is forgotten/ forsaken. But now when everything left into pieces and barren Perceiving a long serene silence to peace negotiation After furious exchange of challenges never been experienced of all times They’ve come exhaustingly to an agreement and a covenant Drawing a line respecting their respective rights they demand -2- A line so solid so that universal understanding Focused on world unity and mutual improvements and developments At last for an everlasting peace after sought co-existence- Owing from DRAWN LINE.
