Hostility Is A Choice We Make
There is wonder here in the essence,
all those colours that define sweet life,
history perhaps will wave starlight
as memory of mankind waivers.
Songs of love, of hate, caress the times
which soothe or fire the passion within,
here in this reality, I love
to create the splendour of compromise!
If intense dislike flutters your soul
then take a breath and take a step back,
there is promise in every man-woman,
to find the road of peaceful solace.
Hostility is a choice we make
when things go awry in our lives,
it only takes a moment to close eyes
and focus on death's spiritual shine.
