In the Name of God

We have to stop using our God-given talent, for just some advantage to gain We must think of how much agony and strife to others bring, along with pain!* (c) Demetrios Trifiatis 06 June 2016 *Having witnessed the "ongoing wars" between some members of our poetic family, I beg, in God's name, to stop them so harmony and love prevail!

There was a man who lived 2000 years ago who's message was of peace and harmony and love, not judgement. His name was Jesus Christ and they killed him. If he came again he would probably be killed again. Thanks for trying, I do the same, but there is too much hatred in this world.

This will happen when pigs can fly, my friend. Soup is a microcosm of the world!!

This may be true dear, Andrea, but do you mean that we should encourage these people to do as they please regardless the pain they cause on others or we should remind them of the wrong they are doing? I hope you agree with me on the second point! Thank you my dear friend for your visit!

A timely reminder Sir,I've watched this on other poetry forums and to hate to see the virus spread in this beautiful sanctuary.

You are absolutely right dear, Miraj! We all have to do our part to stop hatred and try to bring understanding and harmony among the members of our poetic family! God's gift of poetry to us should not be wasted in fighting but in loving one another! Thank you so much!
