Pollyanna Peace

Peace. You say
you desire peace.
“Bring the soldiers
home.” End it.
Simplistic thinking.

You hate people.
People who have
different opinions
from you. But you
want peace in the world.

Forget the murders,
bloody accidents,
a life taken through
abortion. Just bring
those soldiers home.

Limited thinking.
You don’t see the
whole picture. You
pick at the puzzle pieces
which have been strewn
by an angry child.

You find a section and
focus on such a small
crumb of evidence to
justify your need.
Simplistic thinking.

You spew venom
on people and desire
to dispose of their
value. That is no speck
of a beginning to further
your Pollyanna world peace.
