It is said that the meek
shall inherit the earth
but given its conditions
how much is it worth?
 
Many bellicose nations
are playing with fire.
Chaos reigns all over
and the situation is dire.
 
If conflicts do not stop
we shall have slaughter,
destruction and suffering,
come hell or high water.
 
To ensure there is peace
rather than deep despair
we must smooth feathers,
pacify, and clear the air.

How clever this poem is Luigi. You took the I P to another level, showing that the elements can be taken in another direction.

Inspiring!

Hello Jenny, this poem was dictated by my pacifist streak. I have always been a strong believer. in. peaceful coexistence and it is worrying that regions throughout the world are embroiled in so many conflicts.
I have been able to include the four elements in this piece which hopefully will get me the 'bonus point' that was mentioned in the brief.laugh

Kind regards, Luigi xx

A great poem, Luigi, and so very timely, given the gathering in Cornwall at the moment. Lovely use of the IP.

I am forever hoping that common sense will eventually prevail. Sitting down face to face and talking is the first step in trying to resolve differences.
Thanks for the positive feedback, Jane, and the bonus in the form of cherries.

The meek can inherit the earth I just want the mineral rights.

Yea, that seems the main motivation, Tom.
