PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

One bright candle is all that is needed 

to start a fire; to begin a blaze that will 

burn away the hatred that is  found 

trapped in the essence of the warrior. 

One lone voice is sufficient to start 

a movement that will ignite  the 

earth into a screaming passion to

live out  the message of peace 

given to us by Christ. There is no

 honour in victory if even one person

 must die in the process of the stampede 

There is no passion like life  growing, 

growing within us all. Surrender to the

 flames of change, movement, eternity. 

Invite the enemy for dinner, sit at table 

and break bread. One hand reaching out

in friendship can change the anticipation 

of the world. I don't admire the warrior. 

The message is outdated.  Fading banners 

and fading songs that play endlessly in a

choir of violence. Misinformation from

the morally unformed. I don't admire the 

voices raised for blood and honour,

stinking in uniforms of endless hate.

Instead, I celebrate the refrain of celestial 

voices sighing  for each of us to be peace.

One bright candle is all that is needed 

to start a fire; to begin a blaze that will 

burn away the hatred that is  found 

trapped in the essence of the warrior.
