Poem Artwork

Listen; poets of the world
your words are mighty
your vision is clear
war IS war
not peace

The voice of the oracle speaks
through your words

Fight with your pen
with your vision

Open the space between space
the world between worlds
between your words

The world is not simple
layers of understanding
and misunderstandings
Create that empty space
of understanding
by being unbearably honest

Create that space for free thinking
curling through your words
To strike in the heart of hearts
like a bolt of enlightenment

You are the carrier of the flame
the favorite of the muse
the warrior of words
Truth; truth; truth
seek it
speak it

The bush is on fire
illusions run deep
seek, speak, the truth
Hope shall flourish
peace shall flourish
in the s p a c e


This poem is dedicated to all the poets, writers, artists, thinkers, spiritual leaders that made the Book of Hope & the World Healing Book possible.

I watched the entire UN meeting on March 7,2003 and the weapons inspectors found nothing of a threat to America - except that the documents used against Iraq (submitted by the UK/US intelligence) which were to prove that Iraq pursued nuclear arms were FORGERIES ! They are being framed. They are damned if they do, and damned if they don't. The war of aggression has already started by US Marines inside the DMZ between Kuwait and Iraq, in violation of UN rules. For three days, allies have attacked Iraq, aiming to leave them more defenseless when the US/UK begin their illegal invasion in full. Just like in my youth, when watching the cowboys and Indians - my sympathies go out to the innocent victims in Iraq. This is an outrage that will not bring peace, safety, or security to the world. It will only help maintain the US lifestyle, which consumes 45 % of the world's nonrenewable resources. Bush snubs treaties galore - Kyoto, germ warfare, anti-ballistic, comprehensive test ban treaty, land mine treaty, and refuses to join an international court of justice, because the USA should be immune to criticism from the rest of the world !!! I hang my head in shame over this country's leadership.

Beautifully expressed. Poets can change the vision of the world. The old world is collapsing. A new world is being born.

very good prospect for oral delivery.
