Some Acknowledge Greatness

How is it, that we find beauty, yet another sees ugliness? I think it festers in a place of dark, deep, inner smugness! Humilty is a great sign in any God made human. Plowing through life with hatred~is the downfall of many A great man, or vain woman! God runs the world or don’t we know that? As a soldier dies,blood running out of his hat. And you believe penning ipoetry is better than that? Tell me…..where is your empty heart at? Flat and frozen, like a winter key, under an iced door mat. 1/1/2025

Love this poem Pangie! What a better place our world would be with more humility and less vanity. Humility is a wonderful quality to possess in humans….humility and kindness! ( oh and a big red fireman's hat hehe!!) and humour of course! Debx

Hi Pangie, I do believe there is more hate in this world of today, it seems evil has the upper hand at this moment in time.

Yes, I am sure that Brits We love giving foreigners the right to vote maybe…! They are trying to pull the same stuff over here.. then we can import all the. Terrorists?! I know there is plenty of love in the world.. It depends on who you hang around with who you email and what you read and what channels do you listen to?. Some TV channel do nothing but put out unjappiness. You are in charge of what goes in your ear and what you read.. right? Choose wisely.))) Pangie, Lastlt, the world is not in charge of your happiness. You are. Me, too. so as we give to the world so the world give us.. the less we give, the more lonely we are.Pangie. Xx b

This poem directs us to reflect on our actions attitudes, behaviors, beliefs. If we are able to accept the constructive criticism and act with honest self motivation for positive change we can grow in God. Thought provoking piece Pangie! Thanks for sharing.

Karen~ May God wrap us in humility. Every famous actor I know,writer, comic all are humble! Its the “nobodies going aroubd blowing their own horns, pure pride!! Depends on if the person is wearing an “Arrogance Flag.” These folks who will slit your throat. Unfortunately, you have to live and learn this one. They are supremely destructive to your soul and will do all in their power to ruin you here. Given that might you come across one, just keep doing the best you can’t because I know you are. I haven’t been online a lot lately. I’m not feeling well.. very sorry, Pangie xx

Wow, Pangie, your poem forces us to think about your deep thoughts. I like your mix of hard, heart hitting phrasing. Impressive and complete.

Dearest David, I value your opinion, even though we write different kind of poetry. This one was full of meaning and some will get it and some,and that’s OK. I didn’t come here to entertain people. In the sense that I see poetry is the a chance to make a dent in this world. It needs far more than a dent. I found out a steel pan right over the head There’s a lot I don’t know there’s a lot oth…ers don’t know. But I know that being self-righteous is a nowhere place. PRxx

Everything God creates is of beauty, it's evil that creates ugliness in all its vile forms. Tom

People forget about God too conveniently these days. Yes God is all knowing. A very powerful poem today.

They not only forget about God. They do worse.. they say my God is better than your God. And my hair is better than your hair.. true inequality. I find it very depressing, but I know a number of religious people.. Who don’t think we are better than others. If one nation dislikes, another don’t ask for financial help for military help. This is kind of an odd poem, and it has several meanings.. pangie xx.
