Would We Ever Learn

Paris slaughtered

                           Humanity injured 

                                  Peace in intensive care

                                           Heavens in desperation

                                  Warmongers in ecstasy

                            Death celebrates!

              Would we ever learn?

You have expressed this very well. I fear the answer for some is no.

Epimenides was ahead of his time and so right and correct. Your heartfelt write is so cleverly done Demetrios. I believe there is much more sinister men behind this atrocity creating terrorist for their own agenda's of taking over countries for oil. They responsible will some day be before our Lord and be held accountable for the pain and suffering they have caused to those families. Evil is here. Sometimes the ones we think are responsible are not known behind the scenes. It is a tragedy.

Peace, my dear Alexis, starts in everyone's heart. If we are unable to bring harmony within then we cannot bring harmony in the world. The road is very long but with the Help of our Lord we might find the way to achieve our goal of peace! Thank you for your visit, comment and grade! You very kind and generous.

Well said Demetrios, good will conquer evil, feel bad you're in the eye of the hurricane. Keep the faith. JDH

" No city of God is unprotected for it is surrounded by the walls of faith!" Poem by Demetrios Trifiatis Thank you for your compassion dear John. Here in Greece, only in October more than 220.000 migrants and refugees entered Greece. More than a million will be the number by the end of the year but we are doing a lot to help, despite our economic problems. Thank you for visiting!

"Those who forget their history are condemned to repeat it!" Epimenides, ancient Greek philosopher, 6th century BC. Unfortunately we never learn and even if some of us learn, those who do not cause the trouble! Thank you my friend, Anne-Lise! Hugs and love!

What we are learning is that there is unspeakable evil and hatred in this world and no one is safe from it. But praise God, He will prevail and all who belong to Him will be saved! I've read the end of the Book and Jesus wins! Love, Kim

I pray a peaceful way is found! Thank you, dear Kim! Bless you!
