To Be a Man of Reason

To be a Man of Reason Thinking of Paris By Franklin Price 11/17/2015 To be man of reason Is difficult at best Our own beliefs get in the way Think we're better than the rest People are so various In believing as they do If violence not included They have rights the same as you Odd to force our ways on others Those things that we believe Then open eyes in wonder When they fight what they receive When terror rears its ugly head We have the right to fight If reasons point in part to us Must work to make things right Strange are the ways that we react When our beings filled with fear From things that we don't understand That may not be what they appear Address the violence wipe it out Avoid retaliation overflow Don't continue killing innocents Only those who dealt the blow

Very nice Franklin, if you have a bad apple you get rid of it. You don't cut down the apple tree. Pete Yuhas

Pete, thanks once again. You really get the idea. It's too bad that certain world leaders don't.
