Facets And Embellishments

by Domenico Sottile   Feb 21, 2018


Rising above experiences
that are timorous
let it be our purpose

A mind set on class
with reasoning
we must surpass

Facets of language
and appearances
of our humanness
are embellishments

Believes and intellect
are only basic
to our needs
It is primarily our humanness
we should cherish and protect

By embracing our global humanity
war becomes nonexistent
Replace
therefore
right to own a gun
with right
to justice experience

And never forget
we are all human
and beings to accept

Let us stop
looking timorously
at our differences
We already have had
too many last chances

For to anyone with reason
to have a weapon
against peace is treason

    A wise piece in deed. If more people looked for similarities than differences in eacb other and made it thier lifes mission to be kind and considerate to each other instead of filling thier lived with hostility, envy and hate then this world would most definitely be a more harmonious place.

    Well said, a lot of food for thought. So much could be achieved by putting our differences aside.
