Some Words Speak for Themselves

                                                                     Some words just speak for
                                                                                themselves ..
                                                                       They need no advocate,
                                                                          or poet to recite them ..
                                                                                      HOPE
                                                                      is surely, but one of them ..
                                                                               And should be
                                                                       bottled, clearly labelled,
                                                                                 kept safely,
                                                                      then savoured and saved ..
                                                                                    LOVE
                                                                    is another such word surely
                                                                             worth dying for ..
                                                                     Believe me, wars are still
                                                                             fought over it
                                                                     and tears frequently shed ..
                                                                                   PEACE
                                                                   shall serve here, as my final
                                                                                  example,
                                                                  the stuff dreams are made of
                                                                          and a contradiction
                                                                  in terms, since man fights so
                                                                                 many wars
                                                                  in its name, just to achieve it ..
                                                                         Yet today, it remains
                                                                distant and so far, out of reach ..

I've read this a couple of times now, and I really like it's flow, the positioning to your words really brings a breakage to the flow, allowing you to contemplate your words

Hello Nev, and you put it and shape into such words so we hope never to forget.
We, being people who choose to give a damn in life.
Thank you good sir for giving a damn and and a good write and rightfully so.
And just the poetic tonic served up to get us through these turbulent times and days around the world both near and far.
Hope all is well with you and kin and be seeing/reading you soon squire :)
