will there be
can there be
peace for you
peace for me?
will we see
an end to war
when poverty
will kill no more?
photos of starving children
should end gluttony
photos of happy children
should make us all smile
will there be
can there be
happiness
harmony?
will we see
an end to hate?
equality
not bigotry?

i love this, Kay. i just do. and i'm thankful for having read it just at this moment. thank you very much.
love to you this holiday season. xo
We can dream of peace and maybe in our own way, light a candle for others ~
Wishing you and your family Blessed Christmas and peaceful holiday ~
Optimism can wear a bit thin at times, can't it?
We know there 'can', and there 'should', but are no longer that hopeful of there 'will' be.
Nicely threaded syntax to express your wish.
Such heavy, important statements and questions, Kay.
How befitting the spiral of ribbon is for your words.
Beautiful post. :)
Simple, direct, my answer is YES!
Beautifully written Kay!
It's an ever searching question, Kay! Long sought for answers but not given to serious thoughts of political will. As long as nations vie for power political and economics it'll be that long peace shies away! Nicely!

If only. Beautiful poem, Kay, and happy holidays to you!
Merry, merry, merry Christmas from the guinea pigs and me:))))))))
Questions posed earnestly, honestly. Answers? Yes! Of course! They start within me. They start within you. And they glow and they grow, change the world. We are powerful!

This is so beautiful and poignant, Kay. It should be put into a holiday card to remind everybody what we should be striving for.
That is one of my favourite duets.
