Is Peace Just a Fantasy.
Tristan Robert Lange said:
As things currently are...FOR SURE. And what does true peace look like? It seems to me everyone\'s idea of what peace exactly is differs, which then sets up conflict, ironically. At the same time, I do believe in and strive for peace. How complicated of me! 🤣 We humans really are complex, no? Anywho, wonderfully though-provoking write on this St. Patrick\'s Day friend. And, I do believe your poem fits with the day in this way: as St. Patrick peacefully spread his faith only for the church to take over behind him and undo much of what he set up and, to make matter\'s worse, the dude is only remembered for green beer and snakes. All of this to question, can peace really be attained, when one can work for peace only to have it completely undone in one fell swoop. Anywho, a very thought-provoking and wonderful write, TobanI! 🌹👏☘️🎩☘️

Mmm... what we fail to recognize in the face of such an insidious reality is how lacking we are of the most essential on that score: peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Had men THAT, yes, all, there would be peace methinks. With the internal struggle alive, or seemingly quelled by the devouring of mankind our neighbors, and the world entirely itself, how can there possibly be peace? They say, \"Misery loves company;\" and I see it night and day, trying to foist itself upon me that I\'d join it. I\'d rather not. But enough. Gorgeously eloquent and excellently rendered with superb imagery and a fitly haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

well written ,your poem is likely written to provoke thought and inspire awareness about the harsh realities of the world, urging readers to reflect on the cyclical nature of violence and the elusive nature of peace. It challenges the notion that true peace can ever be achieved, given humanity\'s historical context and present-day realities

I fear that mankind as a species is unable to live in peace.
But I still hope that someday I will be proven wrong.

Perhaps there will never be real peace until the sword of Manjushri is turned inwards. By everyone.

It appears that violence is part of the human DNA and greed as well. It is what fuels the economy as well as war. Peace was a nice thought too bad it didn\'t work out. A poem that leaves a dark feeling and one too realistic I\'m afraid. Nicely said

Indeed, these are great. And that last stanza really rocks, changing it from Wise man says to Wise man asks...and the question asked. Indeed. Profound. Well done, my friend! Happy Sunday to you! 🌹👏

well written.Poetic Licence , your poem \"Wise Man Says\" reflects on the complexities of life, the wisdom gained through experience, and the challenges faced during the journey of growing up. It suggests that life is filled with obstacles and questions that require careful consideration and introspection.

Cheeky Missy said:
Dang! But, but, but--I love cutting corners. Every angle you can configure on that term, I love engaging. Besides, I\'m forever the square peg in the round hole. La dee! What a handful you\'ve given me to process in such a bitty stanza! Sweetly rendered in brevity with excellently tasteful imagery and a damning poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

Almost visceral! Marvelous write. I won\'t say \"loved it\" ... doesn\'t convey the my feelings. Somehow I connected with it, I felt I understood the yearning and the changes

A square peg would fit is a larger circle to accommodate its unique protrusions- nest of both worlds perhaps, not perfect but workable. Pardon the imagination 💭 brought to the poetic table.🙏🏻🕊

This is far deeper than the simple and fun verse that it appears to be. There is deep meaning and wisdom in its child innocent illustration. Psychological and sociological as well as ethical implications. It is in the most simple that the profound resides. Lovely a fave

Fascinating. The images gradually conjuring a sense of drowning in the seas, I become aware of the unstated detail carefully presented to effect. Winsome and charmingly rendered with nigh exquisite imagery and a hauntingly painful poignancy. Thank you for sharing. Methinks I know the answer.
