Very descriptive piece, I like it.

Very thought provoking poem Marie. You brought up many of our world’s pressing issues that should have been addressed by world leaders many years ago. Well done Marie.

Thanks for your comments guys… : )

Thought provoking.

I detect hurt and anger here. Like the poem but you need to lighten up a bit or you’ll get depressed.

nice job, like hfj and wotsinaname said- very provoking.

i completely agree it is very thought provoking.

Good job, Marie. Makes you wonder how you’d feel if you could see things as they truly are.

Right up my alley, well done and truthful!

In 200 years we will ask why we didnt do something 200 years sooner again.

You packed alot of deep emotion in those few words. I don’t agree that you need to lighten up – most poety is written to express the angst of this life.

I’m curious as to what you think should have been done differently 200 years ago, to preserve peace for us now. Thought provoking peace, Marie, one of your better ones I think.

“For the lives we live are much too fast” So very true. My years have flown by and go faster all the time.

very true. and great pic.

we only have time if we engender hope, good writing, thoughtful hypothesis.

To those with the vision to see, must be added the courage to speak and the will to take action.
This type of writing is an important part of that.

Thought provoking poem, great choice of image too.

good work
