    Poem Commentary

    When we in the future retire from the fight Is that when we shall get it all right?? The key to avoid becoming enemies? I think it’s communication, understanding, and mutual effort. Once you get to that point, friendships can last forever, hence http://www.inspirationfalls.com/enemies-quotes/ This is my 200th poem in 2009, thank you Poets of OP for the fire and water!!!! Another WordSketch By John E WordSlinger Bless O this food {these gifts in life} May we use it to nourish our bodies, and thee to nourish our souls to our use and us to thy loving and keep us ever mindful and whole of the needs of others, and our planet My sisters and brothers. So be it. Amen.

    Grace, A Prayer For Thy Enemy



    Pleasing, pleasing…..


    I’ve been praying for my enemies

    Now they all pray for me

    It all started out in the school yard

    Two against’ one, maybe three?


    Pleasing, pleasing…..


    We were heathens and rotten

    Now, we’ve learned what was forgotten

    The label on the box said; Dangerous

    Underneath it said, play with me, open


    Pleasing, pleasing…


    Our insides didn’t recoil at the thought

    We were so dam hungry, we were caught

    Anger to the bloodstream

    We licked our prideful lips and fought


    Pleasing, pleasing….


    We ate from the plate of hate at Sins’ buffet

    The stomach of life began to ache

    My enemies now pray for their foe

    To break the pain, curse, and blow, this is grace


    Pleasing, pleasing -

    our God-

    the future

    Our enemies are usually misunderstood .. A lack of communication Is always an underlying issue .. communication fosters understanding - understanding fosters friendship and friendship fosters peace. A nice equation - one that I hope for our civilizations sake comes to pass. Great philosophical write! Ken
