In response to "Unity Begins"

I like your poem and its structure. Your message is strong.

"I’ve been tortured to live without true love." Believe me, I get it. I am 72 and never found it.

"Unity begins through your hearts. Forgiveness begins within yourselves." true...

In response to "Dreams"

Living in today's world is extremely difficult. It's hard to have and achieve our dreams, in my opinion. It's not that it can't be done, but I think it happens less and less each day.

I like your poem. Nice job.

In response to "Forgiveness"

Hi 😊 I saw your poem Lost (on the hub wall) you are an honest and brave soul to share that... I can relate to the subject and wanted to let you know there are other souls out here in WDC land for support. I belong to a good group of folks who deal with anxiety and depression lol!
The little bit of your blog I read shows that you are smart and have right on perception of life.
Just passing through and will read and review soon.
I just got finished with my last assignment in a course here. It was about showing the characters' emotions rather than just telling. I learned a lot from it!
Good place here and have a blessed day buddy!

In response to "War solves nothing."

I beg to differ, being trapped in this corrupted focus, one has to play by the rules to survive. Thus the bullshit sayings like " To the victor goes the spoils" and " He with the gold makes all the rules." War, though i agree with you is serious human folly, solves who is on top of the pile at the end of the day, even if it is a pile of shit.

In response to "Governance "

I agree love is needed to fix the quandry of the system we have in place to govern, but i would add that that love needs to be tempered by Respect. It's hard to act against a person you respect and you don't have to love them to do so.

In response to "Remembrance"

We forget. WW1 is forgotten. WW2 is almost forgotten. Numerous wars in the US lead to a numbness with every death. And once numbed we forget.

We barely embrace our fellow humans. We wage war on all other life-forms. In the end... inhumane humanity will be forgotten. Not all creation-stories have happy endings.

In response to "Laws upon laws warp reason and intent"

Examples come to mind. Observant Jews have hundreds of laws and many spend time obsessing over which ones apply where and when. Switzerland is notorious for rigid laws, as is Singapore.

Simple exhortations like "love thy God, love thyself, love others (especially your enemies)" get drowned out by pedantic nitpickers (example: US Supreme Court).

In response to "Homelessness"

Just homeless "heavy" once for two years. It was a daily struggle.

In response to "Slavery versus Freedom"

I agree with ideals and goals in spite of what others pursue or block; but, goals without measurable objectives are abstract and 'squishy'.

One example from my experience... I had a bbq in my garden for 15 years on August 28th for MLK's "I Have a Dream" speech. I invited a wide range of people. Usually 30-80 came. I may never know the impact but it was an act I could measure.

In response to "Gimmie My Hot Cup of Tea"

You obviously write songs! Wish there were more opportunities at WdC for songwriters. I've won in one contest that's now on hiatus.

I was following, until you mentioned GAGA... then I had to pause to laugh. I didn't see that coming.

Yes, Every Life Matters!

Our futures, born from our past
We all try to follow our dreams
Living our lives through our opinions
Yes, every life matters!

Opened myself up for ridicule
By sharing what I truly believe in
Through my works of creation
Yes, every life matters!

I care about improving our lives
I care about my true love
But I realize

Our futures, born from our past
We all try to follow our dreams
Living our lives through our opinions
Yes, every life matters!

I care about improving our lives
I care about my true love
But I realize

Opened myself up for ridicule
By sharing what I truly believe in
Through my works of creation
Yes, every life matters!

I’ve written with hope within my heart
Creating a living tapestry for two
An opera without an end
Yes, every life matters!

Always cared about helping all of you
Always cared about your dreams coming true
Always cared about healing our collective past
Always cared about not doing any wrong
But I’ve waited, for my true love’s hand

My love has encased others with art
Born from simply my mind and heart
An old soul brought forward in time
Yes, every life matters!
(pause)
Yes, every life matters!

Inspired from listening to the iconic Metallica and their priceless efforts.
