Poetry, the Uniter

Far less the content of
a poem...and far more
its honesty – crossing intransigent borders...
penetrating sincerely into the hearts of global
societies: Poetry!--expressing our common
likes and dislikes; closing the gap, perceived
but often false assumptions dividing nations, 
keeping humanity from amiable, manageable
solutions – love of families and pets
are shared and paramount concerns; protecting
blossoming nature and majestic vistas, our 
cooperative eyes: Poetry!--the sincere articulation of 
soulful spirits seeking freedom from 
world strife, that of forced labor
and tyrannical politics – we are
a sensitive community, bound
by common affections – Poetry,
a blessed informer and compassionate
rhythmic
lyrical
peace
maker
yet a sword
when necessary...

Hello Joe ... poetry has that ability to tell so much using much fewer words. I can easily get lost from the outside world reading relaxing poetry. You sent a fine message Joe - Lindsay
