Show me love and a dove.

A different perespective from someone that should matter to us all...

I'm sad.

For what reason? I don't know.

Perhaps its because of my childern's hunger

that's never going to stop.

Perhaps its the bickering

of selfishness and rot.

Or maybe its the death and waste of lives

that died with for an eye.

My eyes.

But like a son said,

An eye for an eye will only make me blind.

How true this is.

I don't see the hurt, I don't see the pain,

and don't see them all.

But I feel. And I'd much rather see then feel

Becuase all these thing they call freedom

and all these things that make them happy.

Is killing me.

Because of selfishness, indeed.

So for that, I'm going to die.

That is unless, you show me some love

and a dove.

This, again, isn't one of my best, but I just felt like letting my thoughts run wild again. Ignore grammer.

Brilliant work of art that flows beautifully. I love the metaphors you used to dig to the depths of the soul. I can really feel the emotion you poured into this...which is soothing to the soul. Thank you for sharing.

What a deeply painful look at the state of human nature and how jaded we have become... hurting one another uselessly and thinking we are doing right by how God... An excellent piece of writing.

Splendidly smashing. Caught me off guard from what I was expecting. Well done. A lesson we all (as a species) should learn. Bravo.

This is a fantastic expression of the pain of the selfishness that so many do feel deep within. It is human to have wants and needs.. some have higher expectations than others.. the freedom some have is found based on life experience.. money can not buy it. It is a true sense of being.. those who come in youth from poverty will certainly feel some freedoms more than others .. in my own mind..finding pleasure and joy with the smallest things.. I have always taken pleasure from the smaller things.. so many have not found the freedom of wealth within themselves.. and hold self-worth with the owning of possessions and money. Your children will adapt better than yourself.. in hard times.. poverty can be a blessing.. as through that upbringing.. brings the power to feel happy with the small things that come our way... truly passionate and unspoiled simplicity is born from poverty... also a deep desire for learning.. instead of playing with toys daylong.. I have memories of playing school.. not having alot of toys.. learning and playing at the same! Mere paper and pencil.. found writing, math, art.. and so many other means of release and knowledge... which can not be bought.. it is the hardest roads that find the sweetest freedoms, passion and great knowledge! Thank you for sharing and reminding me of the most important freedoms I stand for.

You really do have an amazing eye for the world, bringing us here a feeling of purpose and pain. This is a beautifully deep expression of life.
