PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

It is told that "he sold the very flesh

   of his body for the Doctrine - though the

   immediate consequence would be death,

   that did not turn him from his purpose"

So what are we willing to do to meet

   with Peace 

Lay down our weapons and walk away

   possibly risking a blow from behind?

Embrace our fellows no matter how

   differently they look, smell, sound, think,

   believe, behave from us?

Quell our own twitchiness that

   seeks out conflict?
