Peace

Don't blindly follow
you are a true patriot
with a peace sign.

Refuse to carry
weapons that kill a spirit.
Do not shoot at trees.

Awesome poem Sue. None of us would ever think of killing someone in the physical sense. But many do not give it a second thought when verbally murdering someone's life force with their sharp words. Just as devastating! Amazing words in your verse Sue. Sincerely, love, Moses

I still have my Peace Sign. I actually wore it under my T shirt at my last Navy inspection before my first discharge in 1969. Vince
