Ringing the Peace Bell


Black
..............................lives matter
All
..............................lives matter
All
.............................beings matter
All are
.............................Sentient beings
......................Some beings are invisible 
................Some sentient beings are hidden
...........All sentient beings are interdependent
.......All sentient beings share a common lineage
......Can we say humans are the crown of creation
....Or are humans of all creed just a link in the chain
....Note:- A chain is -- as strong as -- its weakest link
...somewhere..................alas..................somewhere
...humanity........................as......................humanity
...is testing.........................&.......................is missing
...its sense..................................................its wisdom
...its knowing...........................................its hard head
..thru war/battle....................................seems to forget
.wily- dirty politics..............................in key to existence
nay to common sense................…….compassion & oneness
in lust for power & superiority.…Missing is heart from the pic.
.....................................Ring in ~.  
...................................the gentle bells
..................................Drops of Silence
..................................to deafen bombs
...................................how limit debate
....................................to Black/White
.................................................?¿
