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.

In Perpetuity?

I live a modest life,
yet I can craft a fantasy.
Caught within perceptions embrace,
Turned from my mirror, facing reality.

I’ve opened my heart.
Encased many with my art, for free.
I’d rather be poor; I’d rather be homeless.
Than live a life born from lies.
Little lies, lead to more
Anyways you twist them
I’d rather simply continue to be me.

Father, up within heaven above
Why must they pretend?
Taking life as a game of chance.
Father, although I’ve won,
I’d rather not live behind a lie.

Father, oh (up on high above)
Why did you have to die?
You left us all behind,
but your still within our hearts.
The pain of your absence lingers,
I’d rather have you back, it’s the truth.

Sadly, your time had come.
God had need of you that day,
Even though you would have rather stayed.
I remember you today, just like yesterday.
You left without even saying goodbye.

Father, oh Father (look upon us)
I’ll make you proud.
Make the heavens cry your name.
I’ve been faithful, I’ve served silently.
As others ate from my table, for free… (for free)

I’d rather have love in my heart,
And focus on the now,
setting aside all the hate.
For life is a priceless gift,
Without compare. (Without compare)

I’m just a humble man, serving society.
For free, for free, nothings in it for me.
(pause)
Living our lives in circles, has us doomed to fail… and fall.

I see hate for what it truly is, a ploy, a ploy,
A cover up of slavery. So a few can eat for free.
In perpetuity?
In perpetuity?
In perpetuity?

Spoken at the end:
“Humanity must realize that freedom is a human right. A single currency based upon the value of our lives would serve this purpose."
