Meaning At birth the light shone on our worlds and for a moment there was hope forgive us our trespassses, the words so in this chaos, lord we may cope For the sins in the minds of men beelzebub is no more shaming the monster is alive now as it was then a legacy of mankinds making Picture a nuclear cloud and a starving child the images of all our faliures are reminders that man is still wild a beast despite his postures And what if one a day the strife ceased what would be our inspiration ? many would bless the peace at least with prayers for the human nation Our troubles having not yet ceased while the world continues spining poverty, disease and greed would certainly need curtailing Maybe it is courageous just to be alive in these uknown times, forever changing but if hearts burn, so spirits will strive for a destiny thats filled with meaning. |

Wonderful Alexander! I don't believe I've said hello as yet ... "Welcome to Passions"! This is a very thought-provoking verse. I was particularly moved by the line: "Maybe it is courageous just to be alive" So true, so true ... well done! Best wishes, /Kit |

Our troubles having not yet ceased while the world continues spining poverty, disease and greed would certainly need curtailing welcome to Passions Alex. Yes there is a lot of pain in the world, it is not the glorious garden it once was. really enjoyed your poem. A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry |
