Tolstoy's Lament Poem by Bill Lindsay
1 / 1
Tolstoy's Lament
Peace
Is not
A given
Nor can it be
Taken from a war
It is a gift
Bestowed on
Those who
Love

Bill, I am not sure in the macro sense "peace" and "life" in any form are compatible. There is peace on the moon, because there is no life at all. However, show me any living environment, and I will show you a struggle to survive that does not benefit some living things. This starts at the micro and works to the top of the food chain. Peace? It may only be relative to prior states of conflict.
