Olive branch secured
between its beaks it flew past
Subtly a message

Extended countless
times. A bother no less but
none who cared to see

Could they be faulted
Not giving peace a chance for
the will was absent!

  2. You made me think. Yes they can be faulted. We are all responsible for our will. And it should never be absent.

  5. Yes, Hank, I agree with MZ, sad but true. There will be no peace because there are too many powerful people who don't want it. War is an industry to many.

  6. Will power emanates from the heart, those whose for the lack of it have no heart, thus the suffering continues and satan fills their hearts.
