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 |

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

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 |
