Compassion turns blood into ink here, a far more positive way to express life's ills than taking human lives...

When men refuse to fight there could be no war.
But we carry on regardless with our bigger toys.
There are no good/bad guys. Just a mixed up mess....

This is one of your finest, the combination of short poems into a wider and stronger picture is very effective and the use of colours to distinguish or perhaps heighten the senses stands out...red for blood verse, blue for sadness etc. Great job here Suzie.

Despite all the insanity I choose to believe that we will make it...and instead of being Christians, Muslimas Jews etc. and sensing a separation ( divide and conquer) we SHALL wake up soon realizing that we are a family of HUMANS all stemming from the ONE Source..oh happy days when that finally manifests upon this planet..Everyone says love unites and it's only through love that we may taste peace..I must say that in order to love and forgive one must have inner peace FIRST..Jesus ' greeting was PEACE BE WITH YOU! Thus when inner peace surfaces we will have external peace..thus devoid of war-scenarios.MAN WILL LEARN!

This is a superb piece!

I pray that the madness ends soon and Civilians are spared unnecessary death by guided missiles and smart bombs that doesn't seem smart after all
Unless Civilians and peacekeepers are the real target
Wonderful write
