An Olive Branch Aftermath

Grant Hope #90

Dove girl
bring an olive branch to me
in this valley of death
I can see the light of peace from beyond this tree

There was once rancid cloud of death
as destruction made its way
in the silent aftermath
I can hear the people say

We are done
the conflict is no more
we’ve been fighting for so long
we’ve lost what we were fighting for
things that seemed important have been buried with the dead
we seek peace amidst the loss of life
it has brought our hubris to our knees
