PLEA SE
War and strife
(echo) life
Peace and love
(echo) dove
Is this to much to ask
(echo) task
We are stewards, custodians are we
(echo) be
Our beautiful jewel blue
(echo) clue
Weeps oh so for harmony
(echo) see
How the stars twinkle in their order
(echo) duh
A supernova lights our days
(echo) rays
Radiating for each and every one
(echo) none
Only the blind cannot yet see
(echo) mercy
Love is the answer so let it be
(echo) plea

      I do agree with you Jae. Imagine being in the shoes of the politians and justice administrators . No easy fit.

      Much love...

    Your rhyming here is wonderfully like bells ringing. The echo from the sides of nature's forms always adds to the thought so that the plea for mercy seems to say to me "more than words, please!" Very neat.

    Love is the answer--but sometimes we forget how to ask the question

    Only the blind cannot yet see
    Love is the answer so let it be

    Love can overcome whatever obstacles without really having to bother. But sometimes one has to strive hard when third parties are involved.

    I'm with you Gillena. I do believe love is the answer. I hope love echoes loudly throughout the world. You've written a lovely poem Gillena. I like your use of the echo form.

    Oh yes, we do need to look at others with the feeling of mercy in our hearts and minds. We need to put that love into practice.

    Beautifully penned, Gillena. I liked the rhyming echoes that reinforced the message.
