Who are you?

What is the world

but a simple dream?

We are the unknown evil,

we always give a name.

We are fear,

we are dominance,

and yet,

hands remain untouched.

We judge instantly.

Acting as if we had nothing.

Who are we?

Are we the knights?

Or are we the dragons?

Or are we the cowards,

hiding behind our shields?

So tell me.

Who are you?

I like the rhetorical questions: 'Who are we?' 'Who are you?'
I agree with you on the fact that we ourselves, like hypocrites, are quick to judge although we are full of flaws.
Personally I learnt to understand people, be able to have forgiveness, and simply move away, without arguments or insults or grudges, from those persons that I feel I might not get on with.
Obviously we can't be friends with everybody.

I appreciate your review! It's hard though, isn't it? To possess the power to forgive?

I would give You 200/100 for only Your first two lines!!! because this what I always think of, and because yes, life IS a dream! humans who destroy other humans, nature, life, comunications, humanity,... everything else, no one but "WE", there is a gentle tune of sadness in Your flow, that touch us with the soft yearing of that "dream", now my friend, I would like to answer Your question simply.

I'm me, a real human being.

Your comment has left me smiling. Indeed you are you- as I am I. We are everything at some point. However, here is the question- What is it you choose to be temporarily, and what is it you choose to be forever?

[lightsong]

Ha! let me say this, I choose to be forever! lol

[PandaPeaceful]

Haha. You caught me! I am now speechless.

SO VERY TRUTHFUL, I like the message in this write. Very well written

[PandaPeaceful]

I appreciate it. Thank you!

I find it interesting that the main attributes you use seem to have some connection to war and/or dominance. It's like you're saying there are those who smash & those who nurture. Which one are you? It's a question we all need to ask, especially these days! I like the way you build up to your ending question (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[PandaPeaceful]

Thank you Margie, for the lovely review. Indeed today, we are all asking ourselves who we are witnessing every day- are they caring? Or are they willing to sacrifice the impossible to receive greatness?

[girlandpen]

Yes!! I recently wrote a poem with a similar theme to this, so I love the message... but overall the flow is great in your piece. I like how it has that traditional poetry sound without being stilted with forced rhymes

[PandaPeaceful]

That's great! I'll check it out right away. Thank your for reading!

Once Upon a Time,

I was a young man, a Vietnam vet, who thought he can. He overcame the war, his father and more, went on to school but love evaded him for he was a sick man filled with Agent Orange who said no you can’t.

Regards,
Al

Merry Christmas Anais! You are a sweet beautiful child-women!

[PandaPeaceful]

Thank you Alfred! You are too, a wonderful person.

[barleygirl]

Alfred, I'm humbled & honored by your share (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Paul Bell]

That must be the ultimate question.
Probably one with no answer.
For we are the person of the moment, in that moment of time.
