2008-are u still writing your lovely poetry?

Well said indeed.
All it takes is one heart changed to change the tide of hearts.
And a wave of love can wash away the desert of pain.
Thanks for sharing...

bravo, for the content and style Sue! pax a

Nice work Susan, our hopes for a world of peace and love sits within our dreams and yet it is as simple as your poem...to give up the need for greed and power and just live in harmony...


oh to dream and hope...

nice Susan...

'Let's Say'. . . .
The Commanders called for war
But no soldiers came. . . .
Things wouldn't be the same

I love your mentality and how you think.There isn't a day that goes by that I think about those things you express.We need to keep the good message alive and forever.I love your poem.take care

yes, what if--i would love to find out-wonderful write

"WAR!!! Good God - huh - What is it good for? Absolutely NUTHIN!" ... And so we have been singing almost since the heady days of post-war 1950s... And, along with first world affluence, war strategies and hunger for global power has continued to tread underfoot the heartbeat of the common man. Autocracies seem intent on suppressing their own peoples... democracies seem hellbent on suppressing everyone else's. But I still believe the dream and the voices of MLK and John Lennon are still as strong. It seems to be getting our democratically voted representatives to do what the people who put them into power want that's the problem. I greatly admire your tenacity in continue to shout it from the rooftops: GIVE PEACE A CHANCE! Great bolstering rhythm to this one, which gets us all into step... It's indeed a long, long way to Tipperary... Hope you're well. Kate xx

So true Dearest Susan but alas I fear it will not be in our time but if we keep the message alive and spread it to our children and grandchildren maybe someday your dream will become reality.

Reading your poem makes me realize that very few people seem to have and to defend such essential ideals today. It all seems quite natural to me and yet... what happened to this healthy way of thinking?

This is lovely Susan.

Sublime ontologic social thoughts to prevent the teleologic FATE of hamans... "Let's Say...." sings to fraternity and Justice.

Ah, Susan, a nineteen sixtish mantra revived . . . Reality is much different . . . Human beings will ALWAYS be resentful of something someone else has or smarting at some supposed or real insult or knowing that "their" way of running countries is far better than others, therefore they must impose their brand of humanity on them . . . Beautiful sentiments you have peen here . . . I have done the same a time or two . . . But I know better . . . "Wars and rumors of war" . . .

Susan! That is one of the nicest poems I've read in a long time. What a sweet wish and so well said and done. Great write. God bless.
