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.

(Sonnet in Twelve)
(Poetry for Peace)
Note- Change begins in the human heart before it can spread to
defeat darkness and apathy..
