Gregory Stanford Poet Rhyme

For No One

They do not seek to find a peace
They want to fight forever
Until the end of time will ease
Their hunger for whatever
They do consider just and right
For they can’t stand each other
Regardless of the wretched plight
Don’t dare to be my brother
They say, before they die in vain
That Cain and Abel story
Recovered over and again
No one will say a sorry
I am that no one, hope you take
My side in what I’ve said
But you will tell me I’m a fake
My narratives are bad
Yours are much better, you believe
In something you can’t get
So let the robots share your grief
Peace isn’t here yet.

I love how the starkness of your words creates such a deep impact, exposing the futility of pride and the endless search for justice. Striking, thought-provoking piece. Winter Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel Gregory Stanford February 25, 2025 at 7:39 AM Thank you so much for your deep understanding, dear Daniel! I couldn't have said better about my intention. You are very welcome!
