When its our turn…

Felix, the voice that speaks these words shares wisdom in soft but insistent tones and piercing images that is too often not heard. Thank you for this. I loved it.

"...Will we give children of the earth a held out hand
When its our turn will it be too late to take a stand..."
Superb and necessary piece Felix! Reminds me of one written about WWII ... No one would speak up about the Jews because they weren't one, and by the time the Nazis came for them, there was no one left to stand up for them either!
May we remember!
Thank you for this writing: I agree Huda and Michael!
Love, Suzie :-D

Your heart is in the right place..
I concur with Susan's take on it..

Peter

Best poem I read on this den, Felix
I gladly relinquish my title of prophet of peace for you
You're absolutely right
It is time to take a stand
love and peace

Ah Felix, I wonder if even that will be enough, This is so very powerful, I hope it is heard for the warning it is, outstanding.

thought provoking...I remember 9/11...my first thought was, "this can't be. this is America!"

Susan

An excellent powerful write! A timely call to reason, to see, feel and understand. Loved it!
Love, B&R

Wow these are powerful words,...eloquent, heartfelt and let's hope they are heard. Very in-tune with this one Fee. Panda :)

yo bro,

very thought provoking. very meaningful in today's sensitive world atmosphere. Prayers may not fix the world's ills, but they sure can't hurt.

Love ya bro,

see you in August

This is a poignant write, one which you have every right to ask, as do many in this world. We know we are heading for destruction!

But like Susan, I believe in a greater power who will release us, at the appointed time, D day, though it seems impossible, it is written and will come to pass. If we dont live to see Christ come, what does it matter, this life will be done with forever and a new one is a coming.
That's the hope that keeps me going amid all the pain, sorrow sickness, despair that could ecompass my entire being.
I pray you have the same, for it will ease your own anguish, as far as a human's anquish can be in such terrible times.

My love to you

I see a future that is bleek for this world of ours for this war will not cease until it strikes at the very heart of us at home. Then it will be too late to wonder what we should have done.

Cindy Sheehan asked President Bush, "Why did my son have to die in Iraq?"

Another mother asked President Kennedy, "Why did my son have to die in Viet Nam?"

We must do our individual duty, no matter what it may be...to give this world peace. War takes a toll that is priceless to all of us, except the men in black who dictate the plays.

God is the answer. He is the Savior of this earth. Just the word Savior says comfort in the strife of wars.

Love,
Susan

Another mother asked President Truman, "Why did my son have to die in Korea?

Another mother asked President F.D. Roosevelt, "Why did my son have to die at Iwo Jima?"

Another mother asked President W. Wilson, "Why did my son have to die on the battlefield of France?"

Yet another mother asked President Lincoln, "Why did my son have to die at Gettysburg?"

And yet another mother asked President G. Washington, "Why did my son have to die near Valley Forge?"

Then long, long ago, a mother asked, "Heavenly Father, why did my Son have to die on a cross outside of Jerusalem?"

The answers to all these are similar -- "that others may have life and dwell in peace, happiness and freedom."
