Exceptional free verse/antonym poem To Cherish Thorns : Ashes To Dust by michaelcahill Free Verse Poem contest entry

Ashes To Dust   lost without direction or impetus is there hope kill the bastards our reasonable response senseless killing of innocents we fumble for answers towers crumble vengeance stumbles forth dust covered bellowing justice                    hostility festering and congealing within hatred's cocoon--unmoving but slowly a stronger force melts the red-hot senselessness, releasing—                                                                                                     kindness   suicide bomber approaches with my arms outstretched I embrace the moment with my belief   our journey begins   we part ways   Author Notes I couldn't enter the antonym contest, but I liked my little antonym piece so I expanded it.
