Sputtering peace

wrongful and cunnig lies everywhere

The woe of fire is pulling the dark
     Rising, growing to clutch the spark
                 The cloaked spark
                      To enshrine the falsehood ark
         To blind the faithful mark
                                                            Peace is stifled in a shady lark
                         And war is honored in the impure monarch

peace is stifled in a shady lark. that's a stellar line.

[gombeggar]

very well done...would make a good public read

[Art Sun]

nice work...the unfortunate reality is we are engulfed globally within a war that keeps peace out of sight and out of mind....

[Mike Emil]

there is no more 'woe'
then a lack of brandy
unless you are drinking wine and run out of that
and not enough chesses
to go along with crackers
crackers are easy to get
no troubles there
HAI!!!

your talent is an invite to kohlrabi theater
bring cheese
and grapes
both colors

[Joyce S. Greene]

Your images are striking in this one, Latifa. It's incredible that peace still exists in parts of this war-torn world. Good one!

[rutherford]

Wonderful tensions between fire and dark; peace and war. Favorite line was the opening, "The woe of fire is pulling the dark"

[Latifa]

thank you for the read my friend
