Like a river- Some quotes

Just words.

My grandfather told me. What we didn't do. Haunt our life and dreams........

A happy life is making time for morning coffee talk, long walks on a quiet beach, dancing with someone you love often and knowing a lot of laughter.......

We learn great wisdom, when we learn. Life is more than us.......

Violence actions leave residual of things done wrong. Never forgotten.......

Men, who eat and eat. Take and take, consume and consume. And want more. What do they truly need?.....

Please teach the children well. They are the future of our world and the children are watching us. Will we leave the leftovers like our fathers left us anger, war and separation.....

How much can a country bleed till it can't bleed no-more? Who is wrong, who is right? When both sides raises their fists. Both sides had sin against human life. No-one shall win.......

Once Salinger built a grave of dead soldiers to cover him and another soldier. They survived the night. What did he learn? We teach our children to fight, to kill and we wonder. Who screw-up our children?.......

Thank you

Balance is a mighty thing and we need it. But when it comes to violence and ambush attacks on law enforcement we must draw a hardline. We live in the land of liberty lets preserve this liberty. those wanting to strip away safety and security shouldn't get to hide behind the right to assembly, as they set fires. I believe in love and kindness i offer help to those in need. I believe in God's love. But I have those who depend on me. I would and will protect and give aid to my neighbors. When the hand of love and friendship is defiled and violence comes, I will protect those I love with vigor.

[Gypsy Dreamer]

I totally agree with you.

I watched them burn down, Downtown Detroit as a kid. Detroit went from 2 million strong to a dead city and 500,000 people with opportunity. After you burn, riot and destroy. Most businesses, pack-up and leave. Need to look at the people of change. Didn't destroy their cities. Create change by unity. I would join a peaceful demonstration for the safety of all children, all people. Thank you dear Cherrie for reading and the comment.

Of course only we, who called ourselves human being has this opportunity to correct our misdeed. Every wrong take us a step backwards from the civilization. So what we should teach our children is the lesson we didn't learn when we had time.... Otherwise time will haunt us..... Very true to today's scenario

[Coyote Poetry]

This world confuse the children. I pray for better days my friend. Thank you for reading and the comment.

[poison&kerosene]

This really makes you stop and take stock of our lives. It is such a scary time politically. I hope that we will continue to evolve and leave an empowered and tolerant future for our children. Thank you for writing such a thought provoking piece!

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you dear friend. All of us must seek peace, teach hope and befriend each other.

Wonderfully spoken John. We are the ones who can screw up our kids and the ones who can be a model of what should be done. We must choose wisely.
War is at times a necessary evil. Out of it comes Salinger's "Catcher in the Rye" and Vonnegut's "Slaughterhouse-Five" as well as many fine poets who deal with that terrible turmoil that runs incessantly through the mind. One of those fine poets is a man named Coyote Poetry.
Always enjoy your stories John.

Take care be safe.

This is so truthful, I really enjoyed the lessons in this write. wonderfully written & said

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you my dear friend. I worry for my world.

Society has gone crazy. Power and greed rule. If ever there was a time to come together it was during this pandemic and we can’t even seem to do that. Where are we headed?
I love your beginning lines. Profound writing, Coyote..

[Coyote Poetry]

I pray we learn understanding. We must work together toward a proper ending. Thank you Ladysue for reading and the comment.

violence will never be the answer so as to emanate power and what is the use of power when we see ourselves suffering from this plague.. this is indeed a timely work wherein it can be a guide and a wake up call at the same time that we should heal as one

[Coyote Poetry]

I agree my dear friend. Thank you for reading and the comment.

[MantaStyle]

A few grammar errors but very cool message! My favorite one has to be the first line though.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you for reading and the comment. I do need a editor.

[MantaStyle]

Maybe use grammar correcting websites? They're pretty easy to use, though they do need to be micro managed since they aren't 100% accurate.

[Coyote Poetry]

I will semi-retired in October. I will edit my 2000 poem, 30 stories and publish a book. I will have time to fix my work of 50 years. I have wrote free-style since 1971. I appreciate the honest opinion and the recommendation.

[MantaStyle]

Wow!!! that is very cool. I did not know you have done 2000 poems and 30 stories and even publishing a book. What would be the title of the book you will publish? If I have some time I might give it a read.

[Coyote Poetry]

I have been published in books of poetry. Later this year. I will publish my own work. Never enough time to deep edit. I have many stories to fix and repair. I wrote a 300 page book in 1992. Waiting for a good and proper edit. Now my four children are parent. The grandfather will begin to write more, read more.

[MantaStyle]

When I grow up I'd want to be a chill writer like you! Good luck with your books, Grandpa Coyote!

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you my friend.

[Gypsy Dreamer]

Keen and spiritual insight Coyote. I enjoy your words. Peace to our great nation, our great world.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you my dear friend. I am tire of the violence. When you destroy a city. The city can die. I pray for common sense and cool heads.

[John the Baptist]

Anger, war and separation. Indeed. Much wisdom in these lines. We can only hope coming generations can absorb it.

[Coyote Poetry]

Hard lessons being taught. Now the fires. Maybe time for us to pray to our gods. For calmness and healing. Thank you my friend for reading and the comment.
