Richard Pickett Poet Free verse

If I Could Write

If I could write about,
    World Peace
I'd have to write about,
     Ending War

If I could write about,
           Love
I'd have to write about,
        Ending Hate

If I could write about,
         A Feast
I'd have to write about,
      Ending Hunger

If I could write about,
   Human Strength
I' have to write about,
   Human Frailty

If I could write about,
            Good
I'd have to write about,
            Evil

If I could write about,
          My Life
I'd have to write about,
            Me

John Freeman December 31, 2009 at 11:20 AM We seem to have some of the same sentiments Richard. For one if our minds had not known evil, we would not fully understand the good of God's Love. Another excellent write Richard. Sincerely, Moses

P Sheart December 31, 2009 at 8:40 AM To everything there is a equal and opposite reaction. Beautiful sentiments, it's all about cause and effect and what the power of love and courage of us wingmakers can do with it in this life! Truly enjoyed this! Love Light Patty
