WHEN PEOPLE DISAGREE
When people disagree, we communicate
We can use words
Or we can use weapons
Adjectives and nouns
Or missiles and bullets
How do you communicate?
Words can be happy, sad, nasty, nice, or neutral
They can be said in anger or in love
But weapons are always bad
How do you communicate?
When I wear a white poppy
I communicate,
Peace
[This poem was inspired by the nice people who attended the Peace Pledge Union Alternative Remembrance Day event in London in 2016.]
Thanks to Jeani Rider for publishing three of my poems in the August 2017 issue of The Horror Zine (this was one of them):
