Soil’s case against war

I am
breathtaking
not life sucking.
Nurture, preserve…
not fight
bomb or destroy…
nor waste, ruin or dump
with lethal arms
aggressing fate.
Flowering
When loved.
Every pore seeks
to yield, grow
and be at peace…
red blown kisses
from my tawn
happy face.
Not woven
into wreaths torn
between boundaries
of hate
conflict and pain that
I cannot see.
I cannot be.
For ‘seamlessly loving’
is me…
