The Better Choice

Wars will end 
    when 
the combatants decide 
   to 
stop fighting 
   and attend poetry READINGS
The brave fighters of 
   this world 
are sometimes into verse(Patton was)
The power to win hearts 
  lies in the poets words 
  So all of you 
versifiers out there 
    in the darkness 
get together and 
    win the battle 
for the angry souls 
   of the world
who await your much needed nstructions

Yes, the pen is mightier than the sword. Unfortunately, today's children are sliding through without learning to read. A much needed message, Matthew!
