this message is full of love ,its not what it seems ,there is no hatred in it whatsoever,i just want the madness to stop ,i want love to come over again,the world is getting sick we need to get more rational,this hatred is getting us nowhere,it has to sto
oh peace what a wonderful word,we all sing of it
peace be with you
may rest in eternal peace
have a peaceful day
so peaceful they are
peace,its not just calm and quiet
its respect to humans
i have never seen peace all my life
how i wish to live if only for a few days
but peace was never meant for us
greed is all i knew since young
killing and blood is all i used to see
oh my friends oh how ugly
if you have seen the amount of blood i saw
the many lives i witnessed be taken
lives ...dreams hopes endless thoughts of the future
in a flicker is taken away
life leaving behind so many others
children and wife and home
only used to be home
now its no more
when i walk the streets i see lots of red
so thick it tells how many here just left
but they left behind their flesh so much
every beautiful morning i would go out
to see these mass of flesh heaped in every corner
this is how much man is worth,a heap of flesh
i just look ,never believe my eyes
never seen so many,no move ,no life
i really cry and cry hard
i see faces looking at me eyes not moving
some frozen in a smile,some so frightened
some almost look asleep
others look they once have been so alive
so i turn around and go home till next morning
when i will come out see a new collection
and i marvel at what,at what this world has come to be
Well i did read this and it fills me with terror. I do hope you experience peace in your life so much !!! Peace is everything that is required to have a happy life. But some folks are not so fortunate to experience it at all...I pray for those.,,every day !!
Thanks for sharing your deep thoughts
Take care
Be safe
In America, we killed the man who sang "give peace a chance", we killed JFK, we kill all over the world every day for some man's cause... not mine for sure. I say live and let live... I'll sing 'give peace a chance'... go ahead.. .point your gun at me... I'll take it.
I'm not sure if even back in the stone age we were peaceful. Gandre' has far more optimism than I.
I can't say I know how to fix anything.... but I know how to not make it worse. It's called manners... I have them, too. Coming to this piece from reading your bio... I am saddened and embarassed at how ignorant people can be... knowing I am as ignorant as the next.
I like reading poetry from you. It's good. Does it feel a bit free? A little looser than a story? It's the freedom I adore...
I, too, was moved by "heap of flesh"... as you know... I saw my momma's dead face... not the same as seeing many on the streets... but I know of the look of death. It's not a pleasant site. I hope and pray that peace will reign.... only I fear the prophets may be right.... that after the peace will come the end. Oh, no fear there, actually.... the earth could use a good cleansing as far as I'm concerned. Maybe the next generation to inhabit this planet will be a bit more evolved than us.
It's truly a wonder how we can call ourselves human, much less humane, when men commits such atrocities upon other men. The blood of many men over many centuries cries out from the soil. I don't think peace will ever exist in this realm. In the next, yes. Until then, it is man's lot to suffer; and tragically, some more than others.
I appreciate your ability to transcend the sadness, even only for a moment, to write of it and share it with others.
Wow... extremely eye-catching work... You speak of a very traumatizing experience. Stuff that nobody wants to no is there, and that is happening as we speak.
This is why I loved your writing from the first time I read you. It is so poignantly sad, and true. God, I also long for the insanity to end. What a wonderful day it will be, when all killing ends. I love reading your work. Rain..
Hello Moayad, I thought about you and your contry, 2 days ago I have seen a dokumentary movie about Saddam's process, it wasn't Aljazeera TV, something else but in English. However, I thought the one thing is, Americans let him stand in the dust alone but he was pretty mean terrible dictator and he of course commited genocide and even on his chair (it was almost funny how he always interrupted the judge and said that he was 40 years the the leader of that country..I mean one is a normal person when sitting in this chair... he didn't have one idea of active regret...). Peace in my opinion can be when we go back to the Stone Age, when we share with others, when we forget boundaries. Thx for your thoughts on my poem THE THING IS... Much appreciated. Wonderful writing, this one. Be well.
a very intensely emotional poem here.
how sad to have to live with death of masses, everyday.
I can't imagine it; to do so makes my heart wretch.
I know I think my life is scarred; it is...
but it cannot compare to war torn regions of the world.
I am not blind, deaf nor mute to it; believe me.
My heart cries for such misery.
"Let Peace Reign Someday!"
I now see where the sadness comes from now. Every now and again there was a line which really did it for me, but the line which I found to be the most profound was:
"...this is how much man is worth, a heap of flesh"
I find this incredibly moving, and, i swear that's not meant in purely a soft, sentimental way, but, because i understand from previous words that you feel so desperate about the situation you've suffered and lived amongst for so long, for far, far too long. It must be a living hell to see such destruction, to know how much your nation has lost, to know how many people, of all ages, have died.
Believe me, your misery IS felt by people outside your country.. it can't be shared for real because we can't truly understand what it can be like.. it's so easy to say foolish things, i know i have, you know I have. But there are many, many people who regret - from the bottom of their hearts, what's been happening and what is happening.
All i can do is thank you for posting such an incredible piece of writing, for explaining your feelings. I help and have done for a few years, at a hospice where folk know they'll see their Maker soon, in your country, this happens to not only (God bless those patients in the hospice) thirty people who suffer but have palliative care, but to thousands, day in day out.
The Music I like,the Carpenter,all their songs and albums,The Super Tramps,one of their songs ,reminds me of a girl who nearly broke my heart,still feel the pain ,no ,no i will not tell who
,I like t.. more..
