The Warlords of Greed
Mutley Ravishes said:
The title of your poem reminded me of the three \"passions\" in Buddhism - greed, anger and folly.
Great write.

The Warlords of Greed
sorenbarrett said:
\"Forgive them for they know not what they do\" A most powerful poem that speaks of power uncontrolled, greed unbridled, of avarice and blindness. But to forgive first one must cure and for this there seems no medication, surgery is the answer. Nicely written

In the name of faith, in the name of nation

Becomes an almost universal plot. Certainly the \'birth\' of more than one \'Nation\'.

fading spring glory

Here a deeper level metaphor seems to look at the destruction of nature by industry and technology. Well written

Desire of a lady
sorenbarrett said:
And indeed does anyone ever learn the language of another\'s soul? This poem holds a feeling of distance and of being valued for only a small piece of what one is. It is what others can use that they value and the true worth remains hidden. Nicely written

They Know Them
sorenbarrett said:
A great poem with much meaning. Anyone that has any knowledge of magic knows of the magicians choice where either way the magician wins. And so it is in politics either choice a loss.

An advertisement.
sorenbarrett said:
A lovely and insightful poem about a society that is capitalistic and money oriented where the one that dies with the most toys wins and yes most would agree that to go to heaven you have to purchase a ticket, there are no more TV programs just advertisements and some of them interrupted for another advertisement. A great read Devender

separation song

A sad senryu that is most interesting because of the juxtaposition of the word tear and tearing that can lead to multiple meanings. Nicely done

This is a poem that is deeper than the surface of it seems. It needs to be read over several times to appreciate it. Lovely

Compensation
sorenbarrett said:
Ah such a poignant poem. The right of the many outweigh the right of the few unless they are one of the few that rule. That is the golden rule of government. A very strong poem using nature to emphasize the point. Even governments that call themselves communist are nothing but a perverted form of might makes right. Well said
