Once upon a time, there used to be stars in the sky. Now, there's a gaping black hole in the milky way.. There used to be flowers blooming, now tanks are rolling But flowers will always be there..celebrations, graveyards, requiems, elegies- from ground to ground--flowers When a white dove sits on the charred branch of an olive tree Bidding farewell to civilization...yet generations will go Inspite of the bombs and guns but nuclear may never give the future A past and the past a future for history to be written, locked in The future of what happened before, there maybe no one to write it down. Because people will die but not all of the people will die, There still will be people to execute massacres in this Circuit of concrete jungle.
‘The future of what happened before’ – what a great line Lady Yasmin. I just wish it was one I wrote.

So descriptive and a written reality on the world done only how you can do it. As long as people think they’re right and others are wrong, they’ll always be some kind of war and you painted the perfect picture of why. You are an amazing writer Yassy.

War is truly tragic and one of the most difficult things we have to live with in the modern world. But remember, dear, that this too shall pass and that though human beings can do terrible things, they do really wonderful things too.

This is so true! Our future seems so bleak as we continue to make the same mistakes over and over again. I have hope that God’s Kingdom will end this cycle. I look forward to the peace that is promised to cover the earth (Isaiah 2:4, Revelation 21:4).
