Si vis pacem, para bellum
If you want peace, then prepare for war
Serenity will come when the storm has passed
Be ready for the deaths and wounds that will last
Ahead the opening of tranquility's door
You will not be guaranteed
Harmony and order
But sometimes to reach the other side,
You must cross the boundary, past the border
If you want peace
Then watch the horizon beyond that vast moor
If you want peace
Raise your shields higher than you've ever raised them before
If you want peace, then prepare for war
Holy crap this is deep. It almost sounds like a prophecy and I love it.
This is a very lovely poem! Very nice job deary~
