I agree dear Poet. One people and one earth. We must get along for the sake of the children.

Wow! I have the TV on and while I was reading your poem, there's Breaking News -- "49 dead in terror attack at News Zealand mosques." You touched the topical issue.

The media is partly to blame I think, they sensationalize the abnormals. It is not normal to stab or hurt people or to hate. It is ABNORMAL, and the media has to stop glorifying the stabbers and shooters. PEACE will come a lot easier if people stop reading the magazines and newspapers that feature this junk. I have given up on news. It is mostly not peaceful. Nice one Jan. Happy Woman's Day!

Caren I totally agree. I'm not a big fan of the news either. They over do it. They will tell the story over and over again!

Most want peace but there's some full of hatred that don't understand the word. We live in hope. Tom.

Hi Jan, This is a good acrostic with a great message. Our world needs peace worldwide. The world would be a much better place if we " all" would pray and embrace peace. Nice song to accompany this revelant acrostic( Reba is one of favorite country music singer). Best wishes in the contest:-) Alexis

Not much hope for that when one considers genetic brothers and sisters have been slaughtering each other over thousands of years in the "holy" city of Jerusalem simply because each believes their one god is incapable of choosing the best way to be worshipped! Aloha! Rico

So true, I agree so much killing is as a result of religion, wish there was a way to stop this Rico:-( hugs Jan xx
