I had posted this a couple of nights ago on another page before the new rules went into effect. As such I will only be using this page for my poetry and my Global Nation Organization page for articles on topics GNO is targeting for future development.

I am including the reviews from the first posting so that those authors do not feel obligated to posting another review. Thank you.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It takes a lot of courage to be honest.

So ask yourself,
which are you?
Courageous
or honest?

I thought I would write about love,
but I found myself lost in pain.
So I wondered
is love the same as pain?

I keep thinking…NO!
Love…oh my love,
Love is good.
It is a good feeling,
that feels good.
It is love.

So then if love is good
what is this pain?

It isn’t the anti-thesis of love.
For that would be hate.

Oh, I see.
Pain is love,
minus love.

YES, that is it!
Pain is love, minus love.
Mathematically speaking of course.

Love, minus love, equals...
Pain.

Now if he could only find the courage to be honest.
For love minus love, plus honesty equals
FREEDOM!

 Courageous and honest are the rules, but like all rules there are exceptions to the rules. Well written honest and courageous piece.

Bravo, Sara!! Wonderful equations on paper; however, in real life they can be confusing and sad. Interesting way our minds work, isn't it!? Enjoyed!

Hi Sara,

Ah sweet pain thy misery
What pleasures form thy give to me
Whereof the thoughts my soul embrace
For love should show such sonsie face.
