The World of War and Peace

When you find yourself in times of war.
How do you live with loss?
Each day is a celebration.
The home that was, is.
and is yet, no more.

The meanings of words change,
as each day rolls on.
The daily pleasures keep us
company. Epicureanly.
As homes crumble and nations fall.
Life alone soldiers on.
Battling the past and despair.
Life soldiers on through the defeats.
Getting by on parties at night,
and laughing by day.
Laughing because to not laugh would
be another defeat. A harder one.
A deeper wound.
The winter shall end and
Summer shall come. And life,
it lives off the routine, mundane.
Everyday things in everyday life.
And it goes on.
Life goes on and on and on.

Two different philosophies.
Two different worlds.
A world in War and another in Peace.
