Words and Actions

Words of advice fall on deaf ears,
Words of wisdom rarely hears the call.
Words of comfort are heard by some,
Words of fear are heard by all.

Acts of violence destroys the soul,
Acts of kindness the only cure.
Acts of peace will live and die,
Acts of war will long endure.

21st century, and war is never far from the news. Dangerous times ahead, me thinks.

Hi Paul, war has been in our world since the beginning. It's nothing new, but it's getting old. Thanks for the feedback little brother.
