where's the love

These days of  listless
living~having lost the
gift of giving~ for the
world has wasted
wonder~by tearing
love asunder

To practice hate
instead~as it circles
in our head~we try
to put it  aside~but
world meaness we
can't hide

Peace is just a prayer
we say~as we lose it
every day~in one way
or another ~for we war
against our brother

We disrupt the planets
harmony~with our
stubborn disunity~
uncaring of how we
spoil~God's creation
with our turmoil

Where's the love we claim
to share~with all people
everywhere~I fear it has
become a recluse~love is
just a word we missuse!

~etw~

You jut confronted the hypocrisy of it all in this well-though out poem, my friend.

Yes indeed. Spreading it around seems like filling the grand canyon. A big hole a little at a time. But ultimately it returns to you. Patrick

Love is the power of the universe and therefore abounds. Subscribing to the ways of love has more often than not been abandoned by the egocentric drive of mankind. Mankind will not long endure without love. But love, will endure eternally. "Where is the love", rhetorical and prophetic Eileen. That the whole of mankind will find love must be the prayer of everyman. With "love" you have wrapped your soul, psyche and pen about the essence of life my dear friend. I bid you love and peace.

You are correct about that, Eileen. However You love the Lord, you love yourself, and love goodness. If you take care of those desires you will be fine!
God Bless You

I AGREE WITH YOU, EILEEN. THE WORD IS USED WITH FAR TOO MUCH EMPTINESS. IT DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING ANYMORE...IT'S A SHAME. SEEMS THE ONLY LOVE WE CAN REALLY DEPEND ON IS GOD'S LOVE FOR US...AT LEAST, WE HAVE THAT WITHOUT QUESTION. THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

The world isn't coming to an end and there is still a lot of love to go around. If we just stop focusing on I, me, and my, we will notice that it is better to give than to receive. There are still a lot of wondrous world and good people out there. Every generation things are better.

I like to think, Eileen, that so long as there are poets
like you, there is room for love, even in a world torn asunder.
