The alliances

Man harvests his fears
to feed his beliefs
to control his ego
he paints a picture
but only a white canvas
promotes peace.

[Ern M. Yoshimoto]

in this very compact verse, the foolishness of mankind has been captured like a snapshot. when i thought the era of ideologies was over, new fanatics emerged and cause mayhem we were unprepared for. this storm of chaos is casting a shadow across the world and one can only pray for peace. i do not know if a white canvas is the answer, perhaps it is dialogue or a subdued painting. yet we should all try everything we can in order to promote sanity and a placid mind.

Mr Yoshimoto, I answered Pete earlier and got in trouble. Auntie G says YOU are the only one I can answer. OK here goes. Your comment, mans foolishness being captured like a snapshot is what stopped me in my track as I was scrolling. Contributing to the above poem, I appreciate your metaphor a subdued painting. Is that even possible at this point? I feel like you're talking to me when you speak of promoting sanity. It's not so easy for some of us. Thank you for your time.

I suppose nothingness is peace but without harmony. A canvas we all get a chance to paint does that ... but it is messy. Pollack was onto something. You got me thinking, Andrew:)
