Comment from Trina Layne
There are some deep reflections here.
I could feel your perplexity and sadness over the state of our world in this piece.
Let's continue to pray for better times and try to do our parts individually to discourage conflict & promote peace.
Happy New Year!

Yes, Trina. You are so right. I do believe it will get better. Thanks so much for your review. I really appreciate that!

Like you, I long for our society to dwell in peace and safety. But, I think we have to keep fighting in our local communities for decency and a good way of life for all of us... it starts locally. Well said.

Comment from Marilyn Hamilton
A perfect poem for the world today where so much upheaval and strife is absolutely everywhere. Hopefully one day man will stop doing such awful things to himself. Thanks for sharing.

Yes, Marilyn. You are so right. Only GOD knows why I guess? Thank you for your review. I really appreciate that!
Comment from Verna Cole Mitchell
I agree with the sentiments of your poem that you have expressed so clearly. This was not the purpose of creation by a loving God, but sin changed everything. We can rely only on God mercy. I love your imagery of a heart punctured by a bristling thorn. That's very creative.

Your words are so relevant to today's world. The violence seems to continue as war rages on in various parts of the world. You have a smooth flow of rhyming words that adds strength to your theme.

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
There will always be a war somewhere unfortunately, as humans, mainly men, enjoy a good war. Innocent people, including children will suffer. I admire your plea here for peace and when one war ends, another begins.
Often war is not about those who live in poverty but about the greed of the leaders. I sincerely hope that the world is at peace during 2025.
I don't believe in capital punishment and we ended all that in the UK in 1964. I hope the US realises that the death penalty does not prevent crime, and it is a barbaric and criminal act against our religious beliefs.
This is a brave post Harry, love Dolly x

Well, Dolly. I have read the Bible from cover to cover and it states there will always be wars and rumours of wars till the end of time. Maybe it is designed that way. Thank you so much for your review. I really appreciate that!
Comment from Ulla
Well, Harry, I am afraid that you're describing what the human race is all about. Peace is a lovely thought but an utopia. My generation has had a great run of living in peace, but that has all come to an abrupt end - unfortunately- All best, Ulla:)))

Yes, Ulla. I am afraid you are right. It is a great dream, but we are far from peace today. Thank you for your review. I really appreciate that!
Comment from royowen
I think someone once said, 'Life isn't fair' I've frequently used the phrase, it rather been influenced, I have selfishly thought that my life hasn't really experience the valleys that others, I've been fortunate that God revealed Himself to me at 41, and turned my confusion into certainty, not that I understand, but rather, He underpins meaning, beautifully written Harry, well done, blessings Roy,

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
You speak a lot of truth, and ask some very pertinent questions, Harry. I don't have any answers. It's such a sad world we live in for the poor and ill, the homeless and the starving. I can't see it ending any time soon. Your poem gives everyone thoughts to ponder on. Well done, and a Happy, Healthy 2025. Sandra xx

Your words are so true. It's a new year and we already had 3 shootings. I liked your poem. You listed all the concerns we have today. I like the way you ended it. Well written.
