The Sword of Words

We tend to get lost in words – definitions; often words being stretched or contracted in accordance with personal beliefs and intentions--predilections.... Take Nationalism, in a sense, not conducive to world harmony – take Christianity, belief and abidance in Christ in a sense, a form of Nationalism fall upon spirit...and not the sword of words –

For sure, Joe, we need to focus more on God than country...and even family. When one side got the mike, only one side gets out, to run in any direction they choose. We need more truly independent voices. Thank you, my friend.

ahh indeed how foolish they are...pride in one's country recognizes its' imperfections but realizes the larger mistake that those who live in the past have no future, that while Columbus was no hero everything they blame the man for long existed among Native tribes, land disputes, murder, rape, child sacrifices, war can all be attached to them. prejudice has been rampant in all of history. the problem is the lack of knowledgeable history being taught. indoctrinated not educated is the problem

Brilliant observations, soundly thought out, honestly and fairly expressed. So, what do we do, every time a person commits a crime, should we imprison the parents or ancestors as well? Unless the child is that of a president? To erase history is to forget its lessons. The most evil American politicians are those who ordered the FBI, our chief law enforcement agency to unjustly persecute political opponents and concerned parents. Thank God Merrick was not made a Supreme Court Justice!

Outstanding reminder, Joe, that words are but symbols after all -- symbols with very sharp edges. Thanks, Gershon

Indeed. Mass bullying as you remarked below! It’s easy, also, Prince......to be misunderstood on Social Media. Or to be censored or flagged. Ultimately, we do not really know the other people. Thus, misunderstandings are common, as are exaggeration. No chance to clear up misunderstandings. That is so sad. Plus, only one point of view is allowed. Panagiota xx

This is what the Democrat party and Liberal Media are proud of: America recorded nearly 108,000 substance abuse fatalities last year (drugs pouring across our open borders)~an increase of 14.9% compared to 2020. The numbers of abortions are 630,000 on the low end to around 886,000 based on other models every year. Not to forget that, since Democrats have taken control of The White House and Congress, murder, muggings, rapes up dramatically. No liberal city safe to walk the streets.

Such morons....no kidding. They fall at the feet of the Bidens. But Marxists cannot bear anyone who is not broke. They must have a rich vs poor society. They want us all poor. Then the gov will have complete control. See...Hitler....class warfare. Then a madman takes over. Yup pers yikes. Thanks Prince de Mino. Panagiota

If people cannot be who they are, when talking to me...it is best they remain silent. Who I am is an open book.

Your reply I am in alignment with! Boards of Education taking young children to Drag Queen shows, is insane. I have seen them in SF. Not the place for primary school children. The internet poses danger to kids, too. It is an open invitation to meet pedophiles. For adults~ who knows who we really are? Thanks, Prince de Mino!

People are extra brave and hurtful when using Social Media. They live really vicariously. Some folks are forced to live that way (medical conditions and so forth)--but others are simply afraid of human relationships (a sad fact)--the devil has high-jacked Social Media as he did with Television and Motion pictures, 99% trash. As the Board of Education chooses now to pump pure evil into the innocent minds of children.

We often forget that the spoken artist's words were the first social media influencers. Social media just thinks they invented it. Very nice poem Joe. Blessings!

Thank you, Sam; so pleased you enjoyed my Prose Poetry. It is a lost art near as I can tell. Yes, Social Media believes they invented it, but really more they invented mass bullying. Blessings my friend.
