Would You

Scrolling and scrolling the scripts slipping in seduction of the scene seen or unseen deflection not to mention reflection mirrors don't always appear to be or not to be drastic times call for drastic measures an ideal idiom of sorts depending on who's cause effects the cohorts a false dichotomy on decline no one gets to run or hide even they can't pick a side ________________ I digress as I undress the distress and distraugt being taught but is any of this right why is there always a fight I'd rather spread peace and love not push, not shove so in the shadow of hate I simply wait stripped down and nude join me, would you?

I join the sentiment all the way. I like your poem. The line 'to undress the stress' speaks to me in particular. May I use that concept for a poem? Many wishes, Kai

Congratulations on POTD! A great message here... hate seems to be the 1st reaction anymore, or maybe not. It might be the one shown to us the most. :)

I would indeed and with pleasure but not in the shadow of hate. You've managed to make perfect sense of often misused alliteration. Kudos, Tim!!!

A profound question indeed. Yet, there is only one true peace, Jesus Christ the prince of peace.

You pulled out all the stops with this one Tim... many congrats on a very well deserved POTD. I especially love " I digress as I undress the distress and distraugt being taught but is any of this right why is there always a fight " it has a tongue twister flow to it' and great alliteration throughout the poem , into my faves:-) hugs jan xx

Thanks Jan. I was surprised. You know me and my alliteration lol

Tim, your poem reminds me of an old saying, "If everyone was the same, then grandma never would have married grandpa." That is why "there is always a fight" A different opinion should lead to conversation but when it comes to politics it always leads to name calling and finger pointing. i love how you wrote this:)

Tim Smith

Exactly my friend. There needs to be more conversation. Thanks DT
