Let us not make war
Where we can find peace
Let us not hear gunfire
Where there are sounds of silence
Let us not taste blood
Where there's food for thought
Let us not smell revenge
Where there is only love
Let us not soulfully look
Into the face of evil
And see only face of Satan
But rather acknowledge the sin
Hardly you can find a few people who are honest, simple and very down to the earth! We forget the basic purpose for which we are here! Loved the great message that your little poem disseminates to the society! Top Score!
Dillip, you humble me with your gracious commments about my character traits. THX so much for that and for loving the poem so much as to give it top score!
Let us not taste blood Where there's food for thought....good and peace loving people can only think in this great way dear Richard. Where there is jealousy and hatred people can go to any extent. This sphere has turned into a h-e-l-l because of egoism, hatred and greed for power and position!
Dillip, I so greatly appreciate when esteemed poets take the time to share insightful comments about my poetry. I'd much rather have that than a thousand stars! THX So Very Much, Dr Swain.
LeeAnn, if there is some way that I could do it, I would. You've given me an idea...stay tuned!

This needs to be both Best Member poem and PoD. Also sent to the leaders of the world's warmongers. Excellent poem Richard.
2) Thank You so very much, poet friend David!
David, in all of the years that I've been on POD, I've received some truly wonderful comments. And not once, have I received one that recommends the poem for both categories. You have truly made my day! And have left me...speechless!
