i have no tears to shed today my empathy has gone astray i'm like a desert in driest season my heart a rock of tortured reason i'm angry with humanities course that refuses to seek the right source we accept what is, live in our own zone we might just as well be dead bones world leaders are blind to any solution being the cause of much confusion they have no time for world conditions being only power seeking politicians they can't come to any useful decisions it is now evident we are losing the war because Islamic Jihad has united more leaders now see what they have let occur while busy at their opponents casting slurs
Powerful poetic editorial on the state of human and military affairs in 2006. So many schisms in the modern world become evident reading a work such as this and one is forced to consider new ways and means to counter the seemingly endless cycles of chaos. A great thought-provoking write.

Powerlessness is a state of mind which paralyses activity. For those like yourself who are by instinct pro-active, then this feeling is usually transitory... good job!! :)) I do so know what you mean, but we are walking a time-line, I believe, and we are to just keep putting one foot in front of the other, keepin on keepin on and doing what we can to effect the desired change. But despondency creeps up sometimes. I find it helps to live life moment by moment - it is the way I and my daughter have managed enduring Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: by not slipping into the "it will be like this forever" or fatalistic mindset. That way, hope springs eternal and remains alive. Sorry - not here to diatribe, but have been absent so, you know... Kate-gab is rife... Great form you use here to express these sorts of sentiments, Eileen. Can feel the cracking dryness but know your watertable will re-establish itself. And I would also feel like this the moment I left that beautiful lake behind, so can sympathise!! :)) LOL Kate xx
Don't lose hope dear Eileen. Peace will eventually prevail. Religion, no matter which, gives superme importance and priority to peace and humanity but all religions have these days been reduced to a horse cart driven by a devil
Ron, you are exactly right, and I have implored the so called "silent majority" to make themselves heard!
The frustration bothers me. I know the scripture and what Revelations means. That doens't mean we are to sit back and let ourselves be run over by terrorism. We should wake our populace and leaders up to perform the tasks that will unite us and help us achieve our goals, at least as well as the enemy is doing!

good poem the strength is apparent withing the structure
I feel like this almost every day now. The only time I get peace anymore is when I start praying for them. Then that axe that's grinding in my gut falls to the ground.
Never rest your quill dear friend and poet ...

Eillen,
Powerful poem with so much unblinded truth if only world leaders would remove their blinflods and see the truths. This world I fear will and never has been destined to total peace for it is written long ago. Powerful thanks for sharing.
God hears your cry for peace; He understands; it grieves Him, but in His time, He will answer. And they won't like it. :) We know Who wins the game! Hang in there; and keep the faith. You're in my prayers.
To bad humanity has to suffer becasuse of the insanity of a few. They think they are winning because even in our country they have the support of misinformed few who protest the loudest. I wonder what would happen if all that silently pray for peace would unite and shout. This has been a war of the ages and sadly will go on for many more.
I agree with every single word of this cry for peace. I have already lost a cousin to this senseless cowardliness and for the life of me, I still have NO IDEA what we are doing over there. But in God we mus trust.
Thank you for more of your eloquently potent words.
your words, "i have no tears to shed today
my empathy has gone astray", reflect my own emotional fatigue today. I will be refilled, as will you. Your words begging for peace do have an impact, Eileen. Keep praying, as will I.

As long as man is on the planet, there will be war and a need for power. There is no character or integrity in any politician. You reflect the majority in this work. We are all sick of it.
Modern labour theories and practice. Covers issues like employment, unemployment, migration, brain drain, entrepreneurship, workaholism, and trade unions.
While Debtors prisons no longer exist, many people continue to be persecuted for crimes related to poverty or inability to repay money owed to municipalities. This practice remains in an injustice that needs to be rectified.

Your powerful inky arrow, has zoomed in, and .........BULL'S EYE!
God have mercy on us all........Mr. Genise has an excellent point; remember, the walls of Jericho came down with a final shout!
Never stop praying for what is right!
