You Mother of All Evils

You,* Hard-of-hearing, Dweller of darkness, Mother of all evils: Ignorance! You, who are unable To hear the truth, Even though it is spoken Through the mouth of Thunder, But who easily discern The fainting whispers Of monstrous lies! Why don’t you open, for once, Your detrimental prison Of calamitous darkness, And allow luminous knowledge To establish its dominion of peace For the sake of suffering humanity? © Demetrios Trifiatis 05 November 2015 * FROM MY RECENTLY PUBLISHED BOOK: This poem is one of many poems that are included in my poetry book on peace entitled “ An Aegean Breeze of Peace” that was recently published by “innerchildpress” and is available at Innerchildpress.com, Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.fr, Amazon.de, and Amazon.co.jp It is a book that I, Demetrios Trifiatis and co-author, hulya n. Yilmaz, a Liberal Arts Professor at The Pennsylvania State University, has written. Dr. Yilmaz, a wonderful lady whom I consider as my sister, was born in Turkey. As you may know, Turkey and Greece have been at war, on and off, for more than a thousand years. I, for those who do not know me, have got a Ph. D in philosophy, has studied in Canada, and was born in Greece. Dr. Yilmaz and I thought to join forces to write this book in order to let our countrymen and the world know that war is not the answer but peace is! Thank you all peace-loving people for your attention.
