Sisters and Brothers

Sisters and Brothers

A Poem by Siddartha Beth Pierce
"

a solution to the war on earth...

"

What say ye to this

my friend

the end

to all our strife

is not with the knife

or gun

the only one

to save us is

humor I say

the funniest one wins

in the end

and so we are all laughing

I pray

this would end the wars

and show us all what

we are here for

enjoyment of the

finest kind

think of it

it's in your mind

the one that gets

the greatest laugh

outlasts

all the others

and in the end

we remain

sisters and brothers.

Ditto to the harmony and lyrical quality of this piece. By the way our faces would ache and our abs too! My face hurts right now smiling with you! Of course the warmongers say that the only reason we can smile and laugh is the great war(s). Lest we forget...we can only laugh. Daring.

Beautiful and written with harmony
to come togther-
putting dow hate
and picking up one another
with hands of hope
and peace- would be a beautiful world
this is touching and passionately well written

Hmmm what a wonderful piece. If everything could be as simple as laughing and just getting along.

Nice take.. Too many of us take too many things too serious. Its the seriousness and the offence taken that causes ill feeling often. If we could just let things run off and learn to laugh a little and not become so wounded as often as we do, it might be a partial step in peace. Nice.
