Sweet Dove of Peace on My Terrace
Sweet Dove of Peace on My Terrace ©
Gary Shulman, MS. Ed.

Your billowing coos seem like tear filled pleas
So much to cry about today
I fall down to my wizened knees
Compelled once more to say
Please sing your mournful tune dear dove
Remind this world again
That poems of peace with all good will
Written with motivated loving pen
Are not enough to morph this world
To sooth, to pacify or even bring pure Zen
But poets like me, we can’t give up
Compelled to share the hope it still can change
And maybe oh just maybe
Earth will no longer be a rifle range!
