The World To Change

There was a man the world wanted to change Whose heart was filled with a terrible rage For every effort he made Pain enforced with his pen's blade In the end managed all friends to estrange!* (c) Demetrios Trifiatis 29 June 2016 10-10-7-7-10 *Observing the war of words that is unleashed within our poetic family I beg all involved parties to declare a truce and let peace and love reign in our hearts. God bless you all!

It's sad when this kind of thing happens. You see so much of human nature, Demetrios (by the way, I will be in Oregon to see my son soon, just in case you wonder where I went to!!)

I'm so pleased that I manage to keep oblivious to the wars here. I've heard they are happening but fortunately I am too much a fool to see the veiled barbs within poetry.

Missing it too. Happily.

Once again your wisdom shines. Indeed to see no evil, speak no evil or hear no evil doesn't mean evil isn't there. History has shown that obliviousness isn't a protection. Thank you.

My good new friend, Mark, from beautiful and peaceful NZ. One to be oblivious of gravity doesn't mean that he will not fall victim to it! As an older person who has realized decades ago, that life worth living only if we love, I raise my voice so whoever is sensible enough to hear it and make an effort to stop hatred from residing in our hearts! Thank you my friend for your visit and comment!
