Poetry binds
with the enduring chord of hope;
She enslaves
the heart with freedom’s incomparable song!

Freedom cannot be vanquished; it abides
the currents of the eternal wind!

At first I thought the title to be a bit stuffy and high sounding, but I thought again of peoples around the world who rise to the morning with the gun of the glorious state at their heads! I will seize every occasion to speak for the oppressed on this planet, and voice my utter disdain for those little demons who sit on thrones made of the bones of the oppressed—the dictators, mangy scoundrels of the glorious state!

Most beautiful and powerful words, dear Art. Your voice is heard, one day justice and love will vanquish ignorance and malevolence. Go on telling the world!

Love,

Art my friend, what a great face you have, and the child in your arms, looks like the picture of happiness.

What a glorious write!

Keep penning your thoughts dear poet.

How could freedom vanish
with heroes like you walking along
by its side.

Hey Bobby, I write best when something ignites the passions of my heart; I will follow those passions. Thanks my good friend, I will do my best! ---Art

inkedgoddess, my friend, I will let my small voice be one among the many, and I believe the many will be heard---Vox populi vox dei! I truly believe that the voice of the people is the voice of God! Thanks for your kind comment.

Indeed, Ida -- if I didn't believe that, I'd be a man most miserable!

Thanks,
