The One Who Does Not Understand

There is an entity in life that cannot understand.
They cannot understand beauty or the love of life.
This entity is called mankind.
Not all of mankind is filled with damaging turmoil.
Only a small portion has to cause
unrest and mistrust.
This entity is like a pebble of sand caught in an
innocent eye.
Making the pain so great it is likened to a boulder
rubbing the sensitive eye into irreversible damage.
This entity comes into a quiet meadow
armed with words of gentility.
Then behind his back comes a gun spattering
mayhem and deceit causing
mistrust and an uneasy contentment.
But children of mankind
There is hope
Do not let this upstart erase your
beauty and love of mankind.
For this entity cannot understand that a loving person
has strength even when down and having the feeling
of being lost.
They lean on someone more powerful then they and
the upstart does not comprehend that faith and love
will win.
Have faith, have love, and aim for the stars.
Your love will triumph and your love will be a never-
ending story and will last until the ends of time.

Love Bon-Bon

Yes, despite those who still stay in darkness, there is hope that mankind may awaken to the Light.
Beautifully written and encouraging to hold on, whatever.
Love, Margherita
