War

WAR

somewhere along the line
denoting rational behavior
there must be a space
a space devoid of reason
is life a matter of lines and spaces?

"WAR" must be a bold black line, like an angry slash? No one wishes for it and a scant minority will want or need it. This one is a mind bender, Daver! Wishing for you the tranquility of peace! Keep well and hoping you will have a wonderful Father's Day! Best wishes, Love, Mikki
