Call For Peace
C ome, O purist hearts, let us rally
A t the Fountain of Time
L orado Taft’s sculptured masterwork honoring peace
L onging, abounding in its essence
F rom dignity to prosperity to destiny
O ur differences equal in love and hope
R ainbow’s colours of humanity
P enetrate shadows of war-filled mist
E choes of peace, traveling nation to nation
A n inexpressibly blissful intermission
C omplacent in appreciation of perceived order
E nvisioned in eyes of silent persuasion

Well expressed, Randy. Wonderful acrostic. I especially like the ‘rainbow color of humanity.’ So true, and all colors are beautiful and play a part in the whole.

I loved “rainbow colours of humanity,” possibly partly because colours is spelled the British way
which made it stand out. And I love “silent eyes of persuasion” too.
The acrostic form is clever too – I wouldn’t have thought of trying that!

Wisdom indeed.
