Calm the Beast With Peace

Elliott: Keeping peace is walking through the flames without a murmur Peace is holding your soul in a peaceful state, honoring peace Never cease to keep the peace with your fellow poets and family Brothers and sisters be not disturbed by the world’s disturbances Speak peacefully and calmly tell the warriors to drop their swords And opt for peace why indulge in war when you feast on peace The way to display peace is to speak with peace and stay with peace When approached by the ferocious beasts keep your peace and share The peace of your peaceful mind, so you can gift them peace of mind. Vienna: Befriend your monsters my friend though fiend it may seem at times They are trying to instigate your soul be not afraid brave warrior Elliott Rule with an iron fist love with a velvet hand let both meek and strong Sit at your table of grace, lest any of God’s children go home hungry Listen to your enemy he will teach you not only of adversity but will Show you a different mirror rise up to the challenge of new perception Remember anger is a beast that if fueled will lock horns with the devil Take a deep breath then on a scale of one to ten how badly is it worth The aggravation, know when to put up a fight and when to let it lie. Collaboration by Elliott Bowe & Vienna Bombardieri

Yes that is the million dollar question. Which battles to fight and which ones to ignor. It is the battles that decide the war. Fight and lose the wrong battle and you have lost the war. This is an excellent poem with a great message. Huggs TLee.
