Narrow Minds

Topic:
war
|
A wide world is narrowed by narrow minds
Clashing words, bearing broken swords
And leaving love behind.
Headlines read:
Black Market Racketeers
Pull the Strings that Turn the Keys.
They make their profits hawking fears,
And selling doves as novelties.
To fight, to die,
To stake a claim in
Any name but humankind
Is more than drawing battle lines,
Its tantamount to suicide.

| I like this. There's a level of wisdom that you may know from experience, or a strength of convinction in your opinion of the topic. Either way, it's an impressive poem in an of itself. I have to say the last stanza is strong, and makes a great note to end on. |

This is something so well said, in a way that is simple
and clear and needs to be heard because it is how so many around the world feel and yet sit silent. The world is wide and big and beautiful, and it is being destroyed as if it were suicidal.
But it's not... And we all should know this.
High level simplicity and directness!
Thank you!
Peace! |
