Andrea Dietrich Poet Acrostic

A World Without War

A world without war . . .

When was mankind ever without it?
Over the centuries,
Rumors and the rumblings of war have seemed to persist.
Little does it seem there is anything the common man can do.
Do we even believe in the possibility of peace?

We dream and sing of peace. As John Lennon sang,
“Imagine all the people livin’ in peace.” 
The world would be such a different place.
How wonderful to think of that – a world in which
Our children need never fear war’s horrors, and
Unified in peace, all nations thrived!
“Triumphant” would take on a different meaning. . .

Were the world at peace, “triumphant” could be defined
As an adjective for overcoming prejudice, hate, and greed.
Rich in love would be our world. In fact, we would be heaven.

Duke Beaufort March 11, 2024 at 5:05 PM Andrea, great poem! I think if we could realize that we are linked to everyone and everything in this world...and if we had leaders who could explain this situation, we could have peace. Unfortunately, not everyone is currently on the same page....hard to know if we ever will be.

Regina Elliott March 10, 2024 at 5:38 PM A beauteous and peace inspiring acrostic, Andrea. What a wondrous world it would be. This is a worthy entry for the contest. My very best wishes for the competition. God's bountiful blessings to you. ~

Ann Peck March 10, 2024 at 2:50 PM It's a hard situation to imagine, but so many problems would be solved. Instead of building weapons, we could concentrate on feeding the hungry. I really liked your poem, Andrea. Good luck in the contest! (Sorry I haven't commented lately.)

Joe Maverick March 10, 2024 at 1:55 PM Heaven.' Dear Andrea?) Bear with me a little.' We are in a broken heaven! Jesus said my Fathers house has many rooms if not I would Have told you.' Then he says I am going to Prepare a place for you.' That you may be where I am.' He is everywhere remember? at that point He was speaking in the broken heaven.' Also Paul Got taken to the third heaven? even the evil Spirits heavenly beings! are active here.' They Are not sent to hell yet..Some are in chains Somewhere?? Some dark mansion' or room.' Joe Maverick March 10, 2024 at 1:58 PM I beleive Jesus tests our acumen in his sayings often And i struggled early on with Clarity' yet over the last 10/15 Years I have found the scriptures have opened more To me.'

Jay Narain March 10, 2024 at 11:08 AM Nice poem. I wish people don't go to war and kill others for land and power to control. The politicians should read your poem.

Ink Empress March 9, 2024 at 10:04 PM Dear andrea, i cant imagine a world without war, but i wish for that more than anything, not just war but other sort of violence that makes us fear for our lives in some parts of the world, when we leave the house. They say signs of the end are these, cruelty.. brilliant how you did an an acrostic for this! Clever, pleasure reading this. Best wishes for the contest

Susan Ashley March 9, 2024 at 8:35 PM Dear Andrea, a meaningful stirring poem soulfully expressed. Oh how I wish we could live in a world without war.. it’s funny how just a handful of leaders (..out of 8 billion people on the planet!) are responsible for all the current wars and the immense misery and death they cause. A heartfelt piece my friend. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

Daniel Henry Rodgers March 9, 2024 at 5:20 PM Dear Andrea, I love how your acrostic delves into the longing for a world without the scourge of war, echoing the collective yearning for peace and harmony. Through your poetic words, you articulate the universal desire for a better tomorrow, where love triumphs over hatred and unity prevails over division. Your dream of a world rich in compassion and devoid of conflict inspires hope and reflection. This is a wonderful call for our shared humanity and the possibility of a brighter future. Amen, Andrea! -Blessings, Daniel
