These Words

I would like to thank you for your visit.
I have removed these poems for a distant future book publication.
I believe we poets, can make a difference
in this world. We live in the 21st century,
we have tools( technology), we have our past,  and imagination.
We just don't have the courage, because
I guess most are afraid to fail, to loose money.
All I have to say is we can't take money with us,
when we die. I also say hasn't mankind failed enough,
and isn't mankind worth the effort, our children is worth the effort..

Thank you, and my your God Bless you

John, You sure know how to sling those words out into a beautiful poetic write. (Sorry...sort of...I hope you like a little playfullness. I can't help this little bit of humor that creeps in and overpowers me from time to time. LOL) Congratulations on having your poem featured this week. Keep writing, Love and Hugs, Dane

Yep! Love is a tough word to say. I guess it's being too paranoid. At any rate, I like this one, Mr. Wordslinger. Congrats. Love, daver

Sweet. Welcome to PoetrySoup. Your 'name' reminds me of SK's the Dark Tower series of which I am a huge fan. Just wondering. Been off the soup for a bit, trying to catch up. Look forward to reading more of your work. Love, Shar
