Two birds
killed with one blade.
Forests
of rain disappear,
while wildlife turns ghost.
Both
haunt our memories.
Green Peace
protests save near extinct species,
all life is a true wonder.
Children,
precious jewels,
are diamonds in the rough.
Bruises
create flaws in the psyche,
love polishes to maximum
brightness.
Family life
should nurture, not destroy,
creating peace of mind.
Passion
stolen by force
batters trust between sexes.
Crimes
of the flesh occur
when egos feel threatened.
Roses, violins
romance soothes the savage beast
to acquiesce during sweet overtures.
Though pain
shadows many lives,
compassion shields many victims.
Deception,
erased by hope of life,
futures are filled with healed hearts.
Timothy Michael DiVito c1995
