Best Ploughshares Poems

In times of a virus spreading its unruly truths I wonder why

	What matters most seems to be toilet paper

Loops and loops of the stuff and people care about their bum

Three ply of course because thin is not for survival of the fittest

Metaphors for when crap...

If I ruled the world of words
I would empower that refined bond
Wave gracefully my magic wand
And into ploughshares beat swords.
*****
I would invoke all the Muses of poetry
With the truest of voices, in a fervent chant
To cast a spell on souls and every quill enchant
And serve...

‘Turn swords into ploughshares and nightmares to dreams’
		
                I have not one plough and no shares in the market

		Insomnia has taken over my nights the rest is illusion

		Ambitions are exhausted...

BEYOND THE HORIZON

Beyond the horizon, three oceans meet the sky,
It is the land of plenty; you cannot travel in a day,
It is wider than the man’s vision and has no end.
Beyond the horizon, there is peace of mind,
Crime, violence and death are no more,
The former...

Christmas by Invitation

My dearest Emmanuel – God with us -
Answering your Christmas celebration invitation
Reserving stable Space Via this Prayer
Watching with a child’s delight
Your birth announcement rising up above the snow 
Of star dusted mountaintops
As you hang your welcome wreath of fiery silver stars
Upon Heaven’s door
Like...

‘One has to grow hard but without ever losing tenderness.’

	I did not know that my hero was a sex god as well

	But he wrote The Motorcycle Diary without any Zen

‘Every day People straighten up the hair, why not the heart?’

	Never contemplate a revolution on a...

imagine there is a war and nobody goes
turns swords into ploughshares instead 
builds homeless shelters instead of bunkers
shares toil freedom and land 
resists grabbing power
dresses in peace flags and love

the silent majority does not wish 
to be slaughtered on battle fields
to satisfy greed and corruption
and...

Inter connected already my friend
Submitting to peer pressure and 
Responding to the Fathers Sins, who
Followed the rules and lived and died
As all the others had before

Watching children today, breathing our
Polluted atmosphere, chernoble, coal
And oil, gas blown by the wind
The world over.

Is the world over?

Has the...

when everyone has nothing
we will fight for scraps of bread
while the dogs are eating gourmet food
our school kids dine on things long dead

when all of “us” are equal
except the ones on top
we’ll eat the roots and spit the dirt
while “they” consume the crop

when all the...

Come friend, face-to-face
Partake and embrace
Welcome
To our neutral place
Beyond time and pace
We come
To regain lost grace
In unified space
Do come

Though our thoughts misled
Biased human dread
No hate
We will share our bread
Our poetries read
Relate
Debate common thread
Like water be spread
Translate

Agreement declares
Focus on repairs
With speed
We will share our wares
Use swords like...

A lone voice echoes in the hear of the valley
     Did you hear it? 
     Are you willing to work for peace? 
Tall trees surround the green carpet which is the valley 
a stream meanders through the...

On Sunday the Festival of Light begins 
Everyone does not know what that stands for 
So I'll explain 
It celebrates a revolt against oppression 
by the Israelites 
against cruel rulers 
who refused to let them 
practice their faith 
The people of Israel triumphed 
Led by...

Deep at heart Tim is a dreamer and longs for 'that' dream

And still and in certain arrest he is a child of gone times

His parents Hans and Ida had told him in misleading terms	

         ‘You can do...
