Should Your Misery Find Paradise Steps Broken

Should Your Misery Find Paradise Steps Broken Should your misery find paradise steps broken blank skies, courageous words no longer spoken. Take greater heed to your own sad and long silence what part it plays in our world's current violence. Speak true, voice out loud and ink down with glowing pen leave not your part to lost and indifferent men. Walk new path, be not afraid to turn over stones find Art, Life, History- perhaps get off your phones. This day, with braver heart change from your current course enter the fray, ride a faster and better horse. Summon anew those dreams and future hopes long past pave your road with solid stones to forever last. When this dark, evil world depends on your silence. Step forth, speak out, to end the widespread violence. Robert J. Lindley, 7-04-2017 (Sonnet in Twelve) (Poetry for Peace) Note- Change begins in the human heart before it can spread to defeat darkness and apathy..
