Comment from Ridley Williams
Very insightful write, Dean. You make so many good points in this piece it's hard to know where to start. In general then; our world has fallen pray to greed and selfishness, the easy way seems to be the sought way, with instant gratification leading the way,...I could go on and on, but hell, you've already said it in your piece. Thanks for the eye opening write my friend, it was a pleasure, sir. Best wishes, Bill

Comment from Bill Schott
This is one more poem that gets everyone's attention and has a message of sad complacency and a nostalgic yearning for the past greatness of a world.

Hi Dean,
The picture, the music and stunning poem makes this piece a pleasure to read. You have penned a lyrical rhyme, a fluid flow and the message is clear and profound albeit sad. Well done, chey

Comment from Dustybones
Good poem of what we all will leave as the future unfolds one we are dead and gone. I often wonder the same thoughts of how the human race is going to make the world a terrible place to live. I can't imagine a happy ending with the population numbers gone as high as predicted. OMG, Being dead will be better, well you know what I mean. DB

This writing really has my heart breaking for the world we live in. Such a good use of the word blue and such meaningful poetry. I too, have not watched the news for some time, except fleetingly. Not that I don't care, but it is hard to move forward with such a heavy heart. Thank God for the hope He only can bring. Well written Dean. A beautiful job.

Comment from Pili Pubul
I completely relate exactly with the feelings you express so magnificently in this poem, it is so incomprehensible the cruelty of humanity, it was always there since the beginning of human history. Some had enjoy peaceful times, but I don't remember a time that somewhere in the world was not war. Now is Syria, but we don't talk about more than two million had been killed in Congo, Rwanda another horror, and more , much more... Yes it must look beautiful from space, peacefully blue... Astounding poem. Pili

Comment from MelReyn
I was determined to save a six since it's only Monday. I can't use them all already! But here I am giving it away. More like your poem wrenched it from my fist.
I felt it. Every word. And you're right, it makes me sad that kids don't build forts and splash in little streams and climb trees like I got too. Staying outside until I'm dragged inside, even if I'm in snow up to my eyeballs. Makes me want to flip the switch in the fuse box so that even I am forced to go outside. ;)
But that is not all that this is about. This is a feeling of well, pointlessness. What's the point of all that pain? You've expressed your feelings well, and that's no small feat.

What a wonderful compliment, Suz. I appreciate that very much. There are so many talented poets on FanStory, and I have never considered myself to be one of them. I am pleased to discover that you felt that strongly, and for that, I thank you!
