The Train

The train with no wheels

Going nowhere

But the stations are moving

Showing the passing of time.


There goes 1914

Then 39 too.

The 40s and 50s

And the others pass thru.


Humanity at war

Knowing no peace.

The world in turmoil

For ever it seems.


When will this train stop?

For cease-fire and respite,

And let the flower of love

Get a chance to re-birth.


The train with no wheels

That is going nowhere

Will never reach Peace

‘Til we learn to forgive!

(Victor S E Moubarak)

  1. Beautifully written and sadly so true.
    Man has been drawing boundaries and putting up walls since he walked on this Earth. That train still has a long way to go to reach its destination.

    Blessings💮

  5. A beautiful poem Victor, I really like this. Unfortunately the train ride will end when man is done with ruining the earth and there is no one left.
