Ubuntu

True words of wisdom KD, if only the world was more aligned with those sentiments. Great pen brother.

I believe most of us naturally hold same or similar views just we don't express them often. This one's just a reminder to self more than anything else.  Welcome dear bro Anon!  Thank you so much my bro for the compliment and visiting with me.

Cheers KDAmB

This piece is brilliant I must say awesome write in the rl with it

My brother you have always humbled me with your affection!  Thank You sincerely matey!  Can't thank you enough!

Fantastic write KDAmB! The issues you address and the way you provide such clarity for the readers is simply brilliant.

How great would it be if we could live in harmony and always be kind to one another without the ego or religion getting in the way...it's like you say in these lines...

Such an amazing write! One that really resonates with my view on the world...

I like that the first stanza came back in the end... it makes the poem even stronger!

In Lak'ech :-)

Welcome dear friend Duende!

glad to see you here and welcome both your visit and kind words. Glad that we share the beautiful view. In Lak'ech Ala K'in indeed! :-)

well, the first stanza just had to comeback/repeat, just like the poem itself (which contains nothing new that we didn't knew) is but a friendly reminder to self.

Thank you so much Friend!

Ubuntu indeed, Birdman. I enjoyed the flow of this very much. Great rhythm and rhyme. Almost read as a child's nursery rhyme, where true and ancient wisdom comes from.

Ubuntu off course Sage One!  
 
am glad you enjoyed the read my respected friend. This is nothing but a compliment for me about the read resembling a nursery rhyme. Big fan of them, people may disagree but that too is poetry. :-)  
Without the wisdom of our ancestors where would we be today my friend.. this is just their gift to us..  
 
Thank You so much for the visit and kind compliments dear friend!

this is one of those "if only." poems that leaves me sad and angry - sad in that it makes me think about the futility of mankind's endeavours and angry in that it doesn't have to be this way - sadness usually wins because it does have to be this way because the majority of human beings are in my view worse than animals. On that happy note I did really enjoy your poem and wish at the back of my mind that it could ever be true:-)

thanks for activating my grey matter :-)

Welcome Dave! my dearest of mates here..
love your honest thoughts on this and I fully agree for the reasons behind. Yes, Sir...the wish on the back of your minds is brazenly visible to us all here....and that's why we Love you so much! I am glad that it evoked such strong emotions in you, a testament to your caring and sensitive and ALIVE nature! Very glad you enjoyed Sir, the effort succeeded a million times over for me. I, we off course wish that it does come true!!

Thank You Dave for your beautiful expression of honesty!

warm regards

"standing upto the times" - up to is two words, don't know if that might have been missed.

There's something lovely about these little rhyming snippets, that I have found myself dabbling in a lot lately. This is a beautiful example of rhyme really working. I'm a fan of a "kick it to the man" poem as much as the next person... and also cool that you want to share it so freely.

Thank you for the read.

Welcome dear Missy!
 Thank you for the correction! I welcome you and your help always!
Well, am elated to learn, this rhyme does some justice to the thoughts attempted to convey using it.

I felt selfish to claim copyright to the universal wisdom here and more than that it'd defeat the purpose and the intent behind the message. If one person changes their mind on just a single occasion before a hateful act, then my effort would be paid a million times over.

Once again my sincere thanks for the visit, kind appreciation and not the least helpful correction!! :-)

The dynamics of social relations---the individual, the dyad, and the larger community, including elders. Intriguing composition.

Welcome once again Bro Jazz!

I thank you for the visit and kind words. Glad you saw it intriguing.
