Century after century, we just don't get it. The one thing that is certain is our Mother Earth: "endless, simple, rich, magnificent and holy--and it balks explosion." The legacy is to take care of our planet. (an aside: I can't imagine St. Francis harming any animal!) This is a sad day for the United States.Margaret Pangerthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09995968579194433270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-77058099322420752532009-11-07T08:16:00.570-08:002009-11-07T08:16:00.570-08:00Definitetly, "Something is wrong indeed with ...Definitetly, "Something is wrong indeed with the world"... I like this quote: The world is so tragic to those who feel and is so comic to those who think... In fact, our world is so comicotragic!!!Phivos Nicolaideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09149376242558001013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-73095036144909534412009-11-07T03:44:23.884-08:002009-11-07T03:44:23.884-08:00" something is wrong with the world".
T..." something is wrong with the world".<br /><br />Too few of earth's inhabitants value peace above their own prejudices, greed, fear of "otherness"; young men like your poet will always die and die in vain.<br /><br />Thank you for being a poetry lover.Frikohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04277167831642088694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-19453598441591211532009-11-07T02:36:53.463-08:002009-11-07T02:36:53.463-08:00It's interesting how a lot of people who actua...It's interesting how a lot of people who actually experiance the sharp end of conflict have a more sensible approach to things and become utterly wanting of peace and unity. There lies the irony, those who fight, want peace, those who want peace can only see a fight to get it... but they are never the ones actually fighting.... and the circle continues... round and round and round....Batteson.Indhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10846214578565824955noreply@blogger.com
