  • ok, she came home for a "visit", but does that mean she is staying? Not likely....

Poem Commentary

Just a plea for the future generations to hear. Without compassion our world is already lost. PLEASE make a change for the better of the HUMAN race, ot just your personal agendas. I LOVE this place called "HOME", and would like my grandchildren to be able to play safely, as well as understand that hatred and greed are two very volatile emotions. PLEASE change the way we run not only America, but the World.

Wail of the World

In the corner of what is my mind,
lies a doorway, a path if you will.
Behind this stone, my hearts desire,
my voice and my choice of free will.

I stand and defend all that I hold dear,
my thoughts and words forever live on.
out loud spoken by me, directed at our children,
for without our children, our future is gone.

I pray that knowledge will inspire proper change,
should we stay the current path, armageddon.
W.W.III will come sooner rather than never,
power inspires fear, fear inspires submission.

The youth of this World, PLEASE hear the call,
POWER will ruin this beautiful planet called home.
Would you want to live in a place decimated by war?
No trees, cities, no landscapes. Weary of people, all alone.

I for one wish to die old, senile and grandkids galore,
but I fear we are headed for destruction, make it stop.
As one country vies for power, others have to defend,
if history teaches us anything, no one is on top.

Money is not everything, yet people kill for it.
Power is not everything, yet armies kill for it.
Domination is not everything, yet countries kill for it.
Compassion IS everything, yet no one wants to show it.

killing in the name of religion should be a myth.
killing in the name of progress, what, is that a joke?
killing in the name of freedom, justified but still wrong.
We kill in the name of ONE man, a leader, his power stroke.

Try humanity for a change, we ARE ALL HUMAN, so be IT.

Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
