Elusive Chalice

Strife is what they aspire or is it revenge that they conspire?
A country of hundred countries, for peace one does perspire.

A sea of innocence congregates unawares,
Frolic in the sanctity of peace and devoid of cares.

A melancholy does reverberate, an evil frown,
A thud and burst – and all fall down.

Acrid fumes of despondency waft and stare,
Sea of innocence tides in to a wave of despair.

Is it strife or revenge or is it a despotic cloud of malice,
Surmise whatever may, peace remains the elusive chalice.

Not happening Bro.

You just managed to depress me further.

Since that is in a way the aim of your poem - to get us to ruminate and FEEEEEEL. You succeeded a bit too well for my comfort.

YUCK!!!!!!! with reference to above explanation.
