Soul Undressing and Potd





Oh, if I could pen of things meaningless!
And stop this interminable soul undressing.

This world, these times we live in, I do care about.
I wish citizens would loudly against murder shout.

Oh,no of sunflowers and Spring only do do we sing.
Nations ignore their own ultimate undoing.

Poets,a huge difference they can make.
Expose any country out to kill and on the take.

For all children,the future is theirs, not yours.
We have harmed them all with fear, and tossed freedom 
down the sewer.

JCB, I adore poets who come back. Truly, I do! I get lost in contacting poets because, like you get caught up in things. Anyway, from my heart to yours, a deep thank you! Love, Pangie xo

My dear friend, your POTD so expresses truth and the thoughts of millions of others in this dark, dangerous and very evil world that we -- all-- must wade through. Hearty congratulations on a most well-deserved honor thus given. A fav. God bless.

I hope this poem encourages strength in others, to pen to make this a better world. Love and gratitude, Pangie. Faving? Ice cream on the cake! Love,Pangie xo

Such powerful ponderings from the passionate pen of Panagiota! Thank you for the reminder that poets can and should strive to make a difference in the world. "For all children, the future is theirs" - let's leave the world a better place than we found it. Congrats for your POTD and Easter blessings ~ John

Thanks John....we can no longer play, I won’t be political. The massive dead in the Ukraine. The death of Jews? And we play word games and popularity games Shameful. Are we humane or not Pangie xxoo

Last two lines a million percent true, (not to mention uniquely rhymed). Biden, Macron, Johnson, Schulz, and company all have blood on their hands -- if not their alleged consciences -- for not standing up to the Stalin of our times. Congrats on POTD, Panagiota!

Thank you, Joe! Really appreciate the POTD analysis! Those stealing youth from children will get to pay. Insane parents and WOKE, give me a break.. Unwoke teachers, sounds better. My comment to Eve says what I want to say, again, thank you for deep thoughts.....Pangie xx

Great wisdom, my friend in your verse. We have placed a horrible burden on our children. Where we should have taught them not to allow them to be afraid , but to stand up for themselves because "THEY" are the important ones , like you said to run our country. Congratulations on POTD, Pangie.

You are most wise, my friend, we also act out of fears" Am sure your classes loved you. To have your own kids, then teach others is real blessing. I would never teach today. I could look at a child's face in a mask. I was in hospital almost 4 wheels. We only wore them in the hallway pr in physical the tray. Nobody ever talked about the big C. We moved on. Yikes. Now? Sex surgery or kormomes to change their sex? How insane? All voters must not vote for any candidate thi/ cracked. Children have died in this surgery. Let Childrem be Children. Boys and girls are not evil words. Excerpt to Disney. Very sad. Pangie do

So poignant… intense .. sincere . A call for change . A voice calling out injustice . My heart goes out for changes so our children have hope for their futures. Important and beautifully written Pangie . Congratulations on POTD. Susan :)

Susan...wow,What and analysis, you caught all I the poignant highlights of freedom and how we have smothered our kids and our own. Freedom. A little boy, aged 11, blew his brains out while attending a zoom class. He was no freaky kid. That Angered me greatly and I wept. I, nor any American are not to be locked in homes! If one is afraid stay home. Thank you complimenting my work. Deeply appreciated by me, in how you expressed yourself, so succinctly. Thank you. Pangie xo

We all should feel the need to protect our children from the pangs of fear and insecurity ! In these trying times they are bitterly exposed to crime and violence ! Your exhortation to poets to wield their pen to alert the world of the dangers of war is powerful. Congratulations on your POTD

Valsa, they are so tender and young yet exposed to Ugliness.I did not grow up in a tawdry and violent world. Nor a godless one. The moon won’t stop killing by goons. We must know our judges are sentencing criminals. Many are too easy free money, free cell phones, persional irresonsibity..,hurts families badly. Time for us to get in write poems of fortitude and power..thank you. Pangie xo

We don't have guns but we have pens which can be mightier than the sword and we should call out injustice of any kind in our world. Congrats on POTD, enjoy the honour. Tom

How right you are Tom! This fear of not speaking out against murder is pure nonsense. Or against Our freedoms being ripped away. Or coerced by Propaganda to be mice. To be told our sex, color Beliefs or nationality are evil. This is all Hitlerian rash, intolerable control. God made us free, He is the Higher Power.. we must all be like Zelensky. The governments of this world cannot kill our spirits, we must fight off all lies and attempts to control us or kill us. I think you saw my poem inspired by who you are on this earth. ___IN HONOR OF TOM CUNNINGHAM____ You provide a fabulous example of what being a great human being is.

"This world, these times we live in" Very profound. We live within our lines (EXPRESSIONS)...tracks on our arms, neighborhoods, political parties, nationalities and wealth (which is thought to be safety and power -- what we don't do in abundance, is live WITHIN Christ's body (which is pure love).... You get a Fav. for this one -- for that beautiful line alone, which says it all. Blessings! Joe.

I am so honored Prince for the FAV, humbled, really. The honor of God is horribly missing. I will not say what the world likes. I will say the rush to be top dog is our biggest sin. From poets to politicians..I do not understand the joy that eachpoem must be Numeroo Uno. What a poem means counts far more. Pangie xxoo
