Matthew Anish Poet Ballad

Formal Question

In other words, 
     the bombing of China 
and the bombing of Hiroshima 
   were 
        done in form 
The chains must be broken 
so 
peace 
can 
enter into the fray 
   Winds must open
 up the minds of the readers 
so mental flowers can grow 
   and guns melt like 
butter in a frying pan 
   The taste of what 
we have previously loved 
      ushers us into new realms 
I qualify that by encouraging 
  your mind and spirit to 
dance the dance of peace 
If - and only if - they are 
   ready to 
A cheerful "Shalom" 
  to all of you out there in the darkness

Andrea Dietrich May 28, 2014 at 12:22 AM oh, now I see the poem you were talking about. It eluded me what you were talking about a poem I had not seen of yours. Somehow this one got past me. It's a good one. The message for peace in the world must never stop being declared.
