Pigeon Talk: A few thoughts about peace

Basically birds of a feather flock together:
doves talk to doves
hawks talk to hawks

What I'd luv ta see
is more cross-feathered communication

More folks need to listen to other species
without flying into a rage

We need to protect our roost
without turning chicken
but also recognise
the world is a vast henhouse
not a narrow cage

Alas –
most humans are too bird-brained
& despite pecks and coos
ruffling feathers is mainly what we do.

Can we soar higher
than than cranes in flight,
or must we remain grounded
as kakapos at night?

Satoru:	One thing we need to accept is that humans are tribal in many ways.
Frida:	All too often, that's true: we communicate only with those within our own clan and view the rest of the world as hostile – or at best, indifferent.
Ying:	Aren't global communications breaking down some of that tribal identity?
Dmiritri:	I'd like to think so . . .
