Paulette Calasibetta Poet Acrostic

Notes About The Poem

As long as our world leaders maintain their egreious ambition to usurp world dominance we will not have peace.  

Dream of Peace

Dreams of Peace 

                         Peace is an illusive, transitory state of mind
                         Equality fiercely sought, for all humankind
                         Awakening to the truth, we are denied
                         Crisis among nations, propels and maligns
                Ending wars, attaining world peace, a dream declined

Paulette Calasibetta April 3, 2022 at 8:33 AM Thank you Paula~we all wish for Peace but it seems to always elude us. You are right, only heaven can fulfill. :)Paulette

Caren Krutsinger March 27, 2022 at 7:45 PM I still want it, and I sense that you do also in spite of realizing that "ending wars, attaining world peace, a dream declined" Paulette Calasibetta March 28, 2022 at 4:47 AM Totally Agree. War is a power play, a great flaw of humankind. It will never cease as long as egos are in the place they are in. Take Care, Paulette

Sotto Poet March 20, 2022 at 2:56 PM Paulette, you've written a heartfelt poem. In fact, the planet is on the brink of killing. Your poetry, expressed in the sorrowful reality, is a wonderful piece of writing. Paulette Calasibetta March 20, 2022 at 3:39 PM Yes Lasaad, our world seems doomed....the death and destruction doesn't cease....we can only dream of peace. :)Paulette

Joseph P. DiMino March 19, 2022 at 9:47 PM No example of it anywhere...not even in our own oscillating minds and hearts...not while we cling to these bodies, which are representative of mankind's spirit development. Absolutely! Peace is Transitory!! Perfectly said. Says it all. Paulette Calasibetta March 20, 2022 at 10:21 AM Sadly it is true... Thanks for stopping by~hope all is well with you. :)Paulette

James Marshall Goff March 19, 2022 at 7:52 PM Through it all, we are only able to control the square under our feet, which you so eloquently express, Paulette... Paulette Calasibetta March 20, 2022 at 10:22 AM Hi Jim~as much as we strive for peace it always seems to be out our our reach. Thanks for your kind comments. :)Paulette

Jack Horne March 19, 2022 at 9:05 AM Yes, a dream many of us long to see fulfilled - heartfelt write indeed Paulette Calasibetta March 19, 2022 at 11:59 AM Indeed....but the truth is globally has there ever been peace? It is a dream we all want to see but sadly will we? Thanks for stopping by. :)Paulette

Mike Gentile March 19, 2022 at 6:38 AM I can't understand the greed and the hate that motivates what's happening in our world. Your poem is powerfully penned in the sad truth Paulette! Paulette Calasibetta March 19, 2022 at 12:01 PM I am with you Mike~our world has always had it's difficulties, I think it is human nature to want to be in control and superior....they thrive on power and destroy the lives of those who put them in power....it is quite an irony! Thanks for stopping by to visit. :)Paulette

Connie Marcum Wong March 19, 2022 at 1:43 AM As long as nations are run by greedy leaders war will never cease. How sad for all peace loving beings. Your poem is spot on Paulette, and well written. Blessings xxoo Paulette Calasibetta March 19, 2022 at 12:02 PM Yes Connie~ there will never be peace as long as our world allows the egregious to control. All we can do is pray. Thanks for stopping by. Blessings,Paulette

L Milton Hankins March 18, 2022 at 2:03 PM Also, sadly, I'd say the vast majority of the world's people want peace. It's the greed of world "leaders" that causes the problem. I know that's an over-simplification, but it seems that way to me. Paulette Calasibetta March 19, 2022 at 12:04 PM Amen! The world leaders and those behind the curtain control us....we are pawns in their egregious intent to rise to power. It is so sad because all the people want is peace! Thanks for stopping by. :)Paulette

Rico Leffanta March 18, 2022 at 11:54 AM It all seems rather hopeless when one considers that the God of Christians, Jews, and Muslims has been unable to establish peace in his "Holy" city of Jerusalem over thousands of years . . . . Paulette Calasibetta March 19, 2022 at 12:06 PM Since the world began we have never had complete peace....and frankly, although something we all want, it is something we will never have globally. thanks for stopping by. :)Paulette
