Linda Jackson Poet Free verse

Peace Sign

War.
           The noise of anger,
               blood lust.
               Martyrdom

          - no heavenly paradise-

                 Holy war.
               Unholy acts.
            Same road leads
                to hell.

         - no heavenly virgins -

                    Lies
               send gullible to
                commit evil
                  crimes.

         -no rewards in afterlife -

                  Wisdom
             carries the sign
               for peace.
                  Hope.

          - ENLIGHTENMENT -



                   Truth
           shall lead the way
