For Those Who Will Never Know

May you rise like a Grecian hero, or Abraham's God
My other family weeps for Jerusalem; I murdered my education
Dreams had died under apartheid - I could not afford
The luxury of telling you these truths. Whispers of salvation
Cascaded in mists that promised to restore my Indian Ocean ...

An important topical piece that expresses the tragedies with emotion and heart. Awareness is a first step towards beginning the conversation, so these horrors may stop and with hope and understanding, we can all work towards a peaceful world. Great message Anil, wonderfully penned. Nicely done:) blessings xxx

Craig, I assume (compliment either way) that you served Australia in the War. So, more smiles on my side that you would give this piece your attention & endorsement. I pray to remain a loyal soldier for Jesus, not for martyrdom, but if if am to choose Him or the world, I'd hope the Holy Spirit allows me martyrdom. Jesus is so good to a man who rejected Him so long, for weak excuses. Glory to our Savior and LORD

Morning Anil. Oh my goodness. Such expression and power. Your title says it all Anil. There are times when we as people are clueless and truly have no idea of what is happening on the other side. Sad to say but this is the world. Allow me to say "world peace" Have a wonderful day.
