All these men...
Claimed
Answers for the world's ills
A way to peace
Each different in behavior
Saint Frances
Mussolini
Churchill
Hitler
Their idealism often reborn
in others...
Upon their forehead
I viewed a sign for peace
A strange peace...
Appearing,
In the creases of
the Europeans forehead
but
based on commercial smiles.
