Lost Humanity
Andy Hunter said:

WOW, a truly great poem. I found this inspiring. Our world is dominated by the greedy few who believe they are entitled when so many who are ignored by our media are in genuine desperate need.

A fine write AP.
Unfortunately, as I see it, man (mankind) has been the same since Adam and Eve.
They got greedy, we could say, in eating of the one tree they were forbidden. I suppose they ate of the other 99 or so permitted trees too.

“But the good men of the world
Refusing to give up reign” –
Ain’t that many: ‘reign’ in this context means power.
‘Power’ means control. That’s something all good men want?
That’s it! Love will get rid of the buggers….

Super words about a great musician. \'Back in the day\' when I was at work a colleague and I used to whistle and one of the tunes we used to whistle was \'Annie\'s Song\' and we used to harmonise with each other.

Excellent tribute to your dad. Indeed an excellent tribute to a man\'s life and all it may contain.

I\'d have put a verse in there about how he came to gain my deep respect and admiration as I matured although in writing this piece i guess youre already showing that aren\'t you.

Faith

\'And if you find one day
It’s you sitting up on that shelf
You’ve got to take that leap of faith
And start believing in yourself\'..
a wonderful message
thanks for sharing, dear poet

Of What is Faith?
L. B. Mek said:

what is Faith
but the actualisation: of hope,
and what is Hope
but our refusal to surrender
to all the abundance of dreary
that threatens
to swallow us: whole...
the Important part
is exercising the humility: in acceptance
that there May be
more than one representation of Faith
and allowing for the diversity
in which people choose to express
and cement, their interpretation of Hope...
it is Great we affirm what is important to us
in the I\'s and Me\'s and My\'s - observations
we so proudly, share
but let us evolve, to a world
where \'We\': underlines all of our empathy
and opens paths of inclusivity and unity...!

Of What is Faith?
dusk arising said:

Faith is a part of our make up and needs no church, or finery of robes, or money making power organisations (e.g. the R.C. church) to support it.

Of What is Faith?
Neville said:


an intriguingly crafted question so well poemed ...
... I have a feeling that many if not most folk will have asked the same thing
... I personally follow a Buddhist path and am generally contented with my lot ...

We Can Co-exist
L. B. Mek said:

\'Give each other space
In such a place as this\'
indeed, we owe Volver
and all those who make MPS
that space of inclusivity it strives to be
cherish it - while it lasts, at least..
thanks for sharing, dear poet

We can, if we followed your advise
But unfortunately, we are unwilling to compromise.

We shall co-exist, but can we? This world will be a much better place if we could show respect to each other a bit. Well done.
