Your poem is very lovely; in an agonizing way... it is beautiful; as heartfelt cries can go... I love it!

Hi Jackie,

Thanks for sharing this beautiful lament.
Namaste.
Clay
Thank you Kimba,
Even though we have just began to know each other....I hold your opinion in high regard.
Perhaps it was my daughter's birthday and the fact that her husband is in Iraq that triggered and awakened the need in me to express.
I don't know. But, please know I do have happiness in my everyday life......what I cry for is our country.
And, a world that seems bent on self-destruction through greed and war.
Thank you so very,very much for your lovely comment!!

Oh my Lyn....you know how very much I truly admire your writing.

Hugs to you right back!!:):):)
Thank you Billy very much!! And, yes you are so right on target....the world trult does need to wake up and strive to live together in harmony.
Peace my friend,

Hi Francis,
it has been such a long time since I have truly been in touch with my ability and desire to write.
But, I feel so very strong about these things....somewhere America...the entire world seems to have crossed a line.
My only wish is that we can pull ourselves up and out again and learn to respect each other and our differences....and, rise above the mire...we currently find ourselves in.
I admire your work greatly...thank you so very, very much!!
Oh my Clay, to receive such a compliment for you is truly awe inspiring for me.
Peace,
Jackie
i really enjoy it when you share your poetry jackie... this piece really make you think.....
There is a Vital Truth in what you said: "that we can pull ourselves up and out again and learn to respect each other and our differences....and, rise above the mire...we currently find ourselves in."
Bless you, my Friend!
Peace.
Oh my paisley....I am most humbled to receive a comment from you related to writing and expression.
I think you are among one of the most brilliant and talented writers that I read!!
Thank you so much!!
Oh robin that is my dream now. I do so pray that the world will wake up and truly move toward over coming our petty differences and this seemingly endless quest for wealth.
Blessings my friend,
~Jackie
I wrote sometime ago about illegal drugs, illegal wildlife poaching and the arms trade being the top 3 biggest industries in the world today.
It's really sad that there is so much money incentive in making war and killing animals.
Eisenhower warned about the military industrial complex taking over congress, well that's already happened, no one dares to go against the grain, no one dares to bring it up for discussion except Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich.
War is a way of life now. Old men start wars and young men fight it, everyone in between gets killed.
May God have mercy on our greedy souls.
Oh how very,very true Sherry. Thanks ever so much for dropping by.
My heart truly does cry out everyday for the state of affairs of the world.
I have held back way too long in allowing this to surface. But, I am one of those writers that doesn't follow any routine.
The words just come and I can barely write them down fast enough.
I wish I were more talented in this area and could express myself in such a manner daily. But, for me it comes when it comes and then I wait for the next time!!
Bleesings and Dreams of Peace:)
Jackie your talent speaks in volumes to the World where a voice is needed to be heard and felt within the depth of the soul. Thank You for sharing this magnificent part of yourself with your Readers.
That is great poetry Jackie! I understand and feel it! It is my belief that true poetry is often born from inner turmoil. I love it!
