I like your creative take on this theme, Carolyn. While many are intent on creating peace, others are planning on creating war! Will we ever learn!! Hugs // paul

It's hard to sleep knowing that we could be attacked at any moment. I've never feared war more than I do now. Thanks for reading.

So timely is your theme my friend--a potent message in your poem Carolyn--I wonder too about the state of the world in general--but war would be an added wound. Excellent--sure to win.
