tim, if you're there, can you hear me?

do you know why there is
a Nobel Peace Prize?

Alfred Nobel invented dynamite.

and for the rest of his days,
was haunted by thoughts and dreams
of how it was misused.

to kill.
to destroy.

and he had just wanted,
to make it easier to build railroads.

question:  who's tim and where is he?

Good question.  Good piece.

Live for love. Without love, you don't live.

As long as you're asking....tim's a miner trapped by a cave in, caused by a dynamite blast.
