Garden of Poetry

 
When shall human nature at last perceive
  Peaceful coexistence nailed to a cross,
Whose failed ideologies achieve
  Little more than retribution and loss!
That humankind might turn the tattered page
  That advocates intolerance and blame,
And fancies of self-emulating flight
  That discard life in suicidal rage,
As moths flutter headlong into the flame,
  Martyred to misconceived notions of right!

~ Daniel F Mitchell
