Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

To Banish War

  To banish war
    your ego subdue
  Humility embrace
    vanity eschew  

  It starts with you
    then one at a time
  Lead by example
    inspiration sublime

Michelle Faulkner March 9, 2024 at 11:56 AM Yes I agree it begins with humility and compassion, war starts with the ego and greed of those who always covet more, more, more - very wise words~ Gershon Wolf March 9, 2024 at 7:00 PM Once more: With appreciation, Michelle. I am humbled by your encouraging comment. Thank you, Gershon

Sara Kendrick March 8, 2024 at 2:23 AM War starts with some person starting it, so we have to individually want all war to end. You have the right idea when it comes to not being full of ourselves. Those who invade are definitely full of themselves. Thanks for sharing this one and for dropping by my page. Sara K Gershon Wolf March 9, 2024 at 7:09 PM You are sure spot-on about those who invade being full of themselves, Sara. Thanks for the insight and for all of your visits to my site. Happiness and Light, Gershon
