I’d like to find the essence that unites us all as one
The spark which can ignite and make a friend
I’d love to see a friendship that would bring the world to peace
Before another struggle and the end

I’d like to find a potion that would cure human hate
A love that would erase that human need
I’d love to see the future of my child surpass each dream
Boycott war and have then peace decreed

Hate is all around us and eats if we are weak
To turn what once was good to shadows path
How can we change this monster and stop the fatal end?
The carnage and predicted aftermath

Evil feeds on evil but good can feed the world
Death leaders are just few who plague a way
Though crumps might be on offer, they’re wholesome filled with hope
Our future and the peace for which we pray

So as I search, please search as well, to find that human thread
And join each so to makes us all as one
Then add love to your potion and mix it with the rest
To battle evil and then find we’ve won

A masterpeace that should be read at each Congressional and Presidential meeting!  Thank you, Rick, for affirming my feelings.

That would be a fine thread
to be bound by, m'friend.

An excellent quest...and the more of us
who would join in would find that dream
come real very soon.

Couldn't agree more with the sentiment expressed Rick, however until we can find a cure for human greed, its a big ask. But I shall remain one of the seekers.

time prophet, great to see you here my friend, thank you for your reply and thoughts, much appreciated.

" The seed of greed, a ramped weed
That grows where flowers die
It blooms to be what others see
As evil and a lie

For man too much does search too deep
For more than what is their’s
Taking peace from where it was
To time of disrepairs "

Kristabell, thank you for your reply, nice to see you visit here today, your words were very much appreciated as well my friend.

Dear Dixie, thank you for all that you share dear friend, your visits alway brighten me, thanks for that. Stay well and may you have much luck at love.

Sincerely
Rick
