With two eyes is see both evil and good, with two ears I hear both evil and good with one heart I may choose only one and it is all or nothing a great message you send and a great illustration you make.

Hope in Those Smiling Eyes
Dan Williams said:

Sadly, this might all too likely come to pass. What a poor job we humans have done, what a good job you have done detailing it. Nice work.

Damn, this has such intense emotional weight. It feels really raw and honest. Loss is such a painful experience it\'s hard to put it into words, but your poem reflects it really well

Hope in Those Smiling Eyes
arqios said:

War is never a good thing, both victor and vanquished loss a great deal, for me itโ€™s always a Pyrrhic victory. And no one can tell me otherwise, the amount of lives, property, resources and peace that we had lost as a family alone are not and possibly will never be compensated by the so called resulting benefits gained. Itโ€™s just not worth it in the end.

In the case of this poem, I think that it is a creation that can find hope in the main character.

The human condition is a social one and one of our fears is being alone. War and death threaten this and this poem portrays that fear. Nicely written

Aww that broke my heart... I don\'t know if it\'s the way you said it, or the fact that it\'s so painfully true. Beautiful job, and important poem

Mummy`s Love (Hidden in Anger)
Tristan Robert Lange said:

A profoundly sad and horrific reality. Love often blinds us to the horrors we experience. We know what we are experiencing is wrong, yet we justify it to make it make sense. But there is simply no justifying abuse. Thank you for expressing this and giving a voice to the voiceless, my dear friend. This poem comes from a place of deep empathy. It has my heart. โค๏ธ

Mummy`s Love (Hidden in Anger)
arqios said:

Mumโ€™s tend to be more articulate than dads in general. And that saying about โ€œsticks and stonesโ€ฆโ€ is quite an inventive lie. We do love them still, but the wounds and scars do remain and we realise this as history repeats itself: โ€œhurt people hurt people!โ€ Very moving poem. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ•Š

True. They are both victims, but love covers a multitude of sin.

Mummy`s Love (Hidden in Anger)
rin said:

I once consulted a poet who had developed a nervous breakdown as a result of being abused by his father, and he was a man with a wonderfully wide-ranging eye for seeing things. I wonder if that person is doing well now.

Mummy`s Love (Hidden in Anger)
Cassie58 said:

Dear Tobani, all those poor children who canโ€™t feel a motherโ€™s love, only her anger. Breaks my heart and your author comment moreso. Beautifully penned stanzas.

Mummy`s Love (Hidden in Anger)
sorenbarrett said:

Deeply psychological and analogous to people that hurt themselves. In our own pain we often hurt what is closest too us. I could feel this poem and the pain and need for love expressed in it. Very nicely done

The word on words and our emotional journey, in a rhythmic and contemplative flow. Good use of repetition.

Are The Words Still Healing
sorenbarrett said:

A most intersting format that makes good sense for the theme of the poem. Each question in a type of duality not answered but implied in a gentle way. Very nice it seemes quite eastern in its approach to teaching

A very poignant ๐Ÿ˜ข
poem, some children
can be very cruel, in school! ๐Ÿซ
Can result in very
terrible consequences in the end! ๐Ÿ˜ž
Thanks for sharing my friend!
