Wisdom's Trail Vi

Among,
The towering mountains 
Of 
menacing fanaticism 
And
In the midst of the shadows 
Of 
Constant fear
Agonizing humanity,               
Desperately, 
Is crawling in search of  
The 
Trail of understanding,

Praying:

That it would lead her 
Onto 
The valley of God-loving peace
Where 
The people of the world, 
Respecting the beliefs of others, 
In harmony, would live,
Glorifying God’s wisdom that has saved them 
From falling
Into 
The ravines of voracious hate 
Where Man's annihilation 
Impatiently awaits!

Robert Lindley Date: 2/2/2015 9:13:00 PM My friend, look the world over and only one group is dealing destruction around the globe to any that refuse to yield to its barbarism and insane demands. No amount of appeasement will satisfy this beast. Remember in war, in conflict the aggressor sets the rules . The rules they set are murder (chopping off heads) and demand ALL humans yield to them.. I will never yield!!!! Login to Reply

May I coin a phrase as one who is married to a Colombian and my family consists of Italian, Indian,and Puerto Rican, "What we need is less tribes and more diversity".
