Glad you enjoyed the piece, doing justice is always a concern, and I have several heavy topic pieces that without revision will never make it out of my computer or notebooks for that very reason. Thanks again<br /><br />Raven, thanks and as always, appreciate the feedback. That last note is something I wondered about as well. I had a few stanzas explaining the situation as I saw it, but thought it better to leave it open ended. <br /><br />Chroma, thanks and I admire you for that for sure. It's important as for, well our species really, to help one another the best we're able to. Really glad you enjoyed the write, and I take those compliments to heart, they really mean a lot.

Although I am not in a situation to do much other than write or state my mind about things, there's a great admiration I have for those who can and do help in many other ways. There is WAY too much injustice and flaws that "govern" people, where I seriously question, irregardless of political identities, what really is the motive, is it altruistic or is their an ulterior behind the words. Anyhow, yeah I've had my opportunities to help when I was in a position to do such, way back when, and I didn't, I blew my resources on partying and so forth, and today I find I think of the world much differently than I did back when the glasses were firmly around my eyes, tinted to the point I couldn't see above me. I find it ironic that now that my mind has turned face, that I'm not in the position to do what I deem right. Anyhow, again, i have great respect and admiration for all those that help others. And not to pimp out this comment box but this is one of the reasons I'm incredibly honored and proud to be a part of Inspiration Speaks, as it shows that good things can come, despite conditions amongst. <br /><br />Anyway, thanks for the listen. Really glad you all enjoyed the write, and Pat, true words spoken as is the norm with your feedback, Tash, the power that I've heard you speaking about for awhile now, where at first I thought yeah, but we're just poets, well now I see what you meant, and yeah-power can be a good thing:) Brian- Cheers for all you do. Thanks again all, appreciate the visits and such:)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05885047796180529498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930188128946500869.post-70273848914290210942011-08-24T11:17:13.893-04:002011-08-24T11:17:13.893-04:00cool poetry ...thank you for sharing xcool poetry ...thank you for sharing xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10624767707167052328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930188128946500869.post-91296343869303457392011-08-24T09:17:31.895-04:002011-08-24T09:17:31.895-04:00Fred!
