Elusivity

       More elusive than the missing link
       than a greased watermelon
         than a slimy pig (no longer pink)

      ‘Peace’ is everyone’s heart desire
         But how to put out war’s fire?

well said, Gershon. Peace does appear to be elusive...reminds me of the Biblical lines "there will always be wars and rumors of wars." Yet we crave peace. A thought provoking poem

You know, the state of war sure does seem endless. ~ George Orwell
