Breeding Ground For Peace Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Some people are centered on themselves, their wants, needs,
lust, egos, not considering others and what they might need,
talking incessantly of what they know, think and feel.

Opinions being given, people listening, walking away with
nothing gained from their conversations, for they have been
talking only of themselves, not listening to others.

An immense difference when another person is talking, valu-
ing the people around them, talking back and forth, asking
them questions, are concerned and caring.

Becoming a two-way conversation of love and compassion, a
breeding ground for peace in this world of ours, one that
our children will be free in.
