Peace has been destroyed. The white dove is dying because of "HUMANITY." That's why "HUMANITY" is on top of the red dove, dying with peace symbols around it. These symbols come from around the world: unalome, triple moon, lotus, Hoping, OM, spiral, yin yang, peace, love, white poppy, Roerich Pact, Adinkra, infinity, and music symbols. They show that different cultures around the world want peace, but our "HUMANITY" has torn us apart and kept us from finding ourselves.
