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!

DeleteYou made me think. Yes they can be faulted. We are all responsible for our will. And it should never be absent.
ReplyDeletewill was absent..
ReplyDeletewill, determination can take us to so many places
lack of it.. drags us down
Absent minds and absent will can leave one at the bottom of the hill. And I take the bird and flip it to Brian lol
ReplyDeleteSad, but true, Hank.
ReplyDeleteNo will, no peace, no way.

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.

Very true Hank. Great job on this.
ReplyDeleteWill power emanates from the heart, those whose for the lack of it have no heart, thus the suffering continues and satan fills their hearts.
