LOVE AND HATE

FROM MY ROOF GARDEN, PICTURE TAKEN BY ME, (c)

Hate Madness Terrorism Eternal fear The world in turmoil Darkness covers man's soul Agony's reign established Depression is leaving its mark Societies are crying for help From one corner of earth to the other None is there a helping hand to offer One wonders what the solution is To bring the world a ray of hope To reestablish order For people to live free As they ought to be Happy and gay As before Just with Love* (c) Demetrios Trifiatis 27 July 2016 *Yesterday an eighty-six-year-old priest was decapitated inside his church in Normandy, France by two terrorists. I dedicate this Etheree to his memory. God help us all to find a way to live in peace! RIP noble priest! Double Etheree: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1

A very moving poem. The act makes our hearts bleed. United prayer will work miracles. You are a light in this world that you share through your poetry Demetrios. 7 ; )

Hi Demetrios, Your heart for people and peace always shines in your poetry. That is so sad. I never can understand why so much evil is done in the name of "God". Good double etheree( tribute piece). For the falling priest. A gigantic seven- Alexis

The Double Etheree has been beautiful ... In its look as well as soul ... but ray of hope is to be found nowhere ... the capitalist civilization is taking heavy toll ... the soul shudders ...
