Neil Monaghan Poem
In life's grand play, we take the stage,
A comedy, a drama, an endless age.
From first breath's cry to the final bow,
A journey through moments, both high and low.
We stumble through childhood, so carefree,
With scraped-up knees and giggles of glee.
Running through fields, with no cares in sight,
Chasing the day into the velvety night.
Then adolescence comes with its awkward dance,
A whirlwind of changes, a fleeting chance.
Awkward crushes, and schoolyard fights,
Navigating love's labyrinth with sleepless nights.
As adults, we find our purpose and toil,
Chasing dreams, wrapped in life's grand coil.
Juggling work and family with care,
Seeking success, but finding moments rare.
Love's sweet embrace, a kiss in the rain,
We search for a partner, to share the pain.
Through trials and triumphs, we find our way,
Hand in hand, we face each new day.
With age, we learn the value of time,
How it slips away, like a subtle rhyme.
We cherish old stories and friends from the past,
Hoping our memories will forever last.
The world spins on, a relentless wheel,
Each day a new chance for joy or ordeal.
We laugh, we cry, we rise, we fall,
In this grand circus, we've seen it all.
Life's a riddle, a puzzle, a mystery,
Full of moments of sheer absurdity.
But in the laughter and shared tears,
We find meaning in these fleeting years.
So, let's dance through life's delightful masquerade,
Embrace the sunshine and the cooling shade.
In this intricate tale, where we all play a part,
Let's find the humor, the joy, the heart.

Neil Monaghan Poem
In a world where chaos often reigns,
A longing for peace in our hearts remains.
For love and kindness to be our creed,
In every thought, word, and every deed.
Humanity's tapestry, woven so fine,
Threads of compassion, in every design.
Let's build bridges, not walls, to unite,
Embracing our differences, what a sight!
In love's warm embrace, let hatred subside,
For tolerance and empathy, let's decide.
With outstretched hands and hearts entwined,
In the spirit of oneness, let's bind.
Peace is the cornerstone, love is the key,
In this shared world, let us all agree.
To nurture our planet, each person's role,
For humanity's future, let compassion be our goal.

Neil Monaghan Poem
Innocence lost in the tumult of war,
A stark reminder of what we ignore.
A world divided by lines we draw,
Innocent souls left broken and raw.
The horrors of conflict, the pain and the fear,
Innocent lives shattered, shedding countless tears.
War's cruel grip on humanity's soul,
Leaves scars on the wounded, an endless toll.
But change can begin with a choice we make,
To mend the world for humanity's sake.
We must reject the path of endless hate,
And find a way to negotiate.
Let compassion guide our every deed,
Plant seeds of peace to fulfill our need.
Embrace our differences, bridge the divide,
In unity, our shared dreams will reside.
For the innocence lost, we must atone,
With empathy, a brighter future is sown.
In the light of love, we all must stand,
To ensure peace blooms across the land.
The world can change if we choose to see,
That war's devastation should never be.
Innocent lives deserve our protection,
A world of harmony, our shared direction.
