Cucumbers and Tomatoes

                                                          The art of war

                                                          is a man made thing, 

                                                          and to invoke Gods's name    

                                                          while in the throes of war

                                                          is to not know God,

                                                          for God is nothing more

                                                          than a state of mind

                                                          and that mind does not

                                                          delve into anything

                                                          remotely affiliated with the

                                                          killing of ones' neighbors.

                                                          The state is one of

                                                          cucumbers and tomatoes  

                                                          growing along side a lamb

                                                          and the only thoughts

                                                          that take place are

                                                          about the art of being.

Great write, poet loves ketch up, tomatoes and sunlight, hate wars, fantastic, very though provoking, relevant in this time than anything, keep on with your roaring, as another poet said this poem will definitely make the butterfly effects, congrats, soooooo proud of poet and the writing style, take care

[paul sal.....]

[Linda alexander]

[paul sal.....]

butterfly effects??

[Linda alexander]

If you do something even if small later in the time frame you can see a huge change in the society which is called butterfly effect of that action or writing or whatever, so advocating for peace in your writing through this site, may be in the long long so many people think the way you think and it multiplies, now I am thinking, then later I may write something based on it, great job Paul, take care

Looking upon God as a frame of mind in which peace is an important factor, hmn . . .
I like this, it frames your thoughts well and presents them beautifully.

Well done. The beauty of the concept and imagery are equal to the elegant form and effective styling. Great write, poet.
