What Is The Purpose Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

What Is The Purpose



Why should I fight the flight of doves?
Or try to clip their wings?
If they find no reason to stay on land...
Then where will they find peace to bring?
And if they should stay in flight too long...
What message does that convey to us?
If they fly from sight,
And peace should stop existing...
What is the purpose
Of conflicts and fights?
And who will compromise or become satisfied
When realized all of our symbols we worshipped,
Have moved on...
Or have been murdered?
OR have simply died!

a symbol is futile unless acted upon... we see violence in us everyday... greed...inward struggle...outward struggle fear, uncertainty of the future, the 'me' violence begets vilolence... unless we change our way of thinking...
