Paean To Peace

Oh, you daughters and sons of Man, Latent heralds of truth, Oh, you pioneers of hope, peace and mercy, Sleeping apostles of compassion, Wake up and join our ever-expanding ranks of love, You, solemn knights of light, For it is time that darkness sounds retreat, Beyond the boundaries of earth! © Demetrios Trifiatis 24 NOVEMBER 2012

Since November 2012, you - the Apostle of Love like John the Revelator - you have been speaking Truth to power, to people, & our petty hearts. Thank you Friend, saint of Peace Beyond Understanding. Loved every line, such as this one: "You, solemn knights of light." Scoring 7 yet! shalom/IRENE/Charis

Sleep not only apostles of compassion, the human mind is asleep. It is hoped that the wisdom of the universe would be the strongest of human folly. Have a nice day. M.K.

And I do not hide your name. Just from the very beginning, I can not do on the site, but to write comments. Probably, it is necessary to contact a moderator. But I do not want. Let it be now, as it is. Yours Marina Kaltman.))

Dear M.K., "Each one of us judges according to his knowledge and experience" Plato, Greek philosopher, 428-348 BC. So, Dear M.K. since you have the courage to express your opinion it is expected from you to have the same amount of courage to present yourself and not to hide behind the letters M.K. As you see, all of us here, in Poetrysoup, show our names and faces and we are not hiding, because we have nothing to hide. GOD bless you!

Yes, I am and happy to be! God was next to me all life long, since I lost my parents when ten and fourteen. With HIS help I managed to study and be what I am today. Thank you. Yes, I wanted to be priest but...se the other reply.
