Lanturne: Contest Entry17 total reviews
Comment from WalkerMan
Yes, you are right, with one important distinction that could not fit into so few words. Not every human being on Earth feels a "need" to destroy; but those heartless few ruling this world certainly do, and it is their behavior that results in the horrid waste of wars. With that understanding in mind, this Lanturne is a good concise expression of an important truth. Well done, and aptly illustrated with a maple tree seed thwarted in its natural flight to the ground by a man-made barrier.

Comment from rama devi
Powerful and direct. This voices one of the most potent issues underlying so many problem's in the world today, including the biggest one in all of history (climate change). Potent closing note on PEACE...will never end in peace. That one phrase can be a whole essay with what can be discerned between the lines. Bravo.
Warmly, rd

Why can't everything be solved with chocolate and coffee? Doesn't that solve everything? I often wonder why everything is so complicated. Why can't we just sit down with whoever or whatever it is and figure things out.
