The mind is tool
Breeds peace but knows no love
There is no deed
To help one rise above
You’re holding back
And the reason just doesn’t fit
The world is lost
And you’ve no time for it.
You thought you’d hide away
Your words are deep
But your mind
It just won’t play
Grace is unknown
A word that builds true peace without
Poverty
Reluctance
Greed
Harbors our doubt
Your road is long
Can you find the end
Will peace play through
To back from wince you send.
Touch me
Tell me that the world will find
Need me
Guide me to the end of time
Tell me
How to find there is enough
Show me
How to save mankind
Teach me
Where true peace I’ll find.
Poems of Peace: Darfar and Beyond
Poems of Peace: Darfur and Beyond reflects on the American Dream, the global situation and the resilient nature of man. It embodies the notion that peace is not only a goal, but a means to the goal that is peace. Passionate, heartfelt, hopeful and desperate—this diverse collection of poems touches on the emotions and complexities of peace within the world today. “One of the most persistent ambiguities that we face is that everybody talks about peace as a goal. However, it does not take sharpest-eyed sophistication to discern that while everybody talks about peace, peace has become practically nobody’s business among the power-wielders. Many men cry Peace! Peace! But they refuse to do the things that make for peace.” —Martin Luther King, Jr.

Absolutely gorgeous! I love this one to pieces.
Bump in the road of my plans, but I am back on track. I will keep my promise.
TRUTHFULLY SPEAKING THIS IS MY NEW FAVORITE POEM.
I LOVE IT,AND ENJOYED EACH VERSE.
Thanks to both of you...I truly treasure and appreciate your faithful reading!
AA -- I can't wait! : )
Because you asked for it, and I owe you one based on your marvelous poetry, herein lies a poem penned (okay, digitized) at lunch...
A flagon perched askew –
Life ebbing away, drop by drop.
Each moment, sacred food,
Keeps our death at bay, makes it stop.
Each day, a hearty quaff,
Enjoy it and treasure to staunch the flow.
Please gulp time from that trough.
Slake without measure before you go.
Hold out and weather all the strife,
Stay strong and beat the drakes of life.
Sometimes a Drake is just a dragon.
Dream big and let that keep you warm,
Hold on even during the worst snowstorm.
Sometimes a flake just fills your flagon.

okay, now I'm hungry! Off to lunch!
Wow...I am impressed my friend...I see genius within. Truly.
Then you, my friend, need new glasses! You point, I'll counterpoint. You address real pain, I'll break out champagne. I am truly a fan!
Someone needs to pour...what good are the drops if no one enjoys them...the world needs both. Your poem has many levels...will there be more? Oh and...Nice pic!
