 "Ash"Painting-"Fiery Epilogue" by Zhang Huan * "Before you enbark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves".--Hussein Nishah * Bodies catch fire, easy when lit By muzzle-blast, or shrapnel- Some parts rise, and some fall; Smoke and ashes mix in wind with ghosts. Dust settles, spirit parts ascend- But for a while, all factors float In tainted air.. a gained result Of evil prayers Of for the lighting... wished. Sheep will remember, tales of contrition. Stories told when they were lambs, Of heirs, and their demon killers, Ones who maimed and murdered Friends, and family with-rancor- Slayed, their living kindred.. While they rested peaceful in their folds. Repeat-repeat the holy sounds-- *Tasbih, Rosary..songs in Epistles; But their sacred meanings will not fruit When cynics pick, and bump them Through their thumbs, and fingers- Beads, and pages will-not make them good In Gods eyes...good Apostles. Koran-words, or bible missives Will not work as prayers for vengeance- Used for wrong, will foul their penance When their evil usage calls, For a fiery epilogue [This message has been edited by ice (02-05-2016 04:23 AM).] |

If only humanity could rise above religious fanaticism and recognize that there is only one law to live by: the law of LOVE. Perpetrating crimes against humanity in the name of our Creator is the most absurd choice any person/divine offspring can make. Our Creator Who goes by many Names wants us to live in peace, loving each other in the way He loves us. Your poetical offering here is food for thought and indeed we need to point out that vengeance calls vengeance and the evil circle will never end, unless we stop to think in new terms. There are more things that unite people than things that separate them. We have the tools to provide a life of dignity for every single human being, the critical mass of people who think in these terms is growing ... Dear Ford, thank you for your "Fiery Epilogue" ... May it be the fire of love burning in all hearts and souls IN THE END! Love and peace. Margherita "Forget every touch or sound that did not teach you how to dance." |
