Y - No Peace



Pieces of Peace
scattered, faint and often obsolete;
selfish ambition breaks
Peace in p-i-e-c-e-s.
Goals in common
food, shelter, clothes
technological advances
a better/easier life, yet . . .
seperation exists
to keep what's mine
posessing piece.
Uni-
Ty
if ever understood, erases
lack, race, rich, poor, hungry, destitute
having need met
this unrealized
since Babel and Acts
thus remains
p-e-a-c-e in pieces.

    I enjoyed the simplicity of the message for the need of unity through the use of a visual description of its antonym. Well written.
