Thank you, dear heart...appreciate your opinion very much...hugs, Ely

That's a good write pitched for a 5-year old.

Thanks Josh...I am delighted to hear it...you just made my day... appreciate that all over the place...hugs, Ely

the selfish desire of wanting to maintain peace causes wars.
Peace cause wars and hatred is born to protect love.

“Man seeks peace, yet at the same time yearning for war… Those are the two realms belonging solely to man. Thinking of peace whilst spilling blood is something that only humans could do. They’re two sides of the same coin… to protect something… another must be sacrificed.”

I'm pretty sure I can't agree with that one, Poet... it's way too cut and dry for me...

I think peace can be sustained with compassion  
and respect...for our fellow human beings. hugs... Ely

Your Pen is so very true, wish our youth will get the lesson, even some of the suppose to be grown folks too. Good Pen, Friend.  Blessings.

If you can see truth, Chyna...so can others...don't give up hope, ever... we will prevail... in our beliefs
and in the end the poets will win. hugs, Ely

I'm counting on you all to bring some peace, cause the adults have made a mess of things. Praying for you'll.  Blessings.

One doesn't have to "grow up"
in order to be...
a responsible adult... hugs, Ely

Yes one does.

Seeing life through the eyes of a child does not prevent bearing responsibility like an adult, Chyna dearest...

Please note the "quotes" bracketing grow up...in this case indicating irony... to many folks growing up means conforming, like a suit and tie...one does not need to conform to the norm in order to be a responsible (adult) person, pay the bills, keep one's word, etc.

I will not conform in that manner,  and hence compromise my true Self...
For that very reason I became an artist and worked for myself most all my life...
Didn't make a bunch of money...but I worked at what I loved. Paid my bills, kept my word, etc. Life is Good...(politics suck, though) ...hugs... Ely

I totally agree with you, dear friend.  Growing up is very different for each of us, but it does include to be responsible enough to accept the responsibility of our decisions that we make & be at peace within our own journey.  Their are some basic things that we must be adult enough to take care of such as housing, food, & well being of our mind, but the main thing is to be the best you, not who someone else's idea of who you are.  Frankly, money has noting to do with evolving into an adult at all.  We all have our own journey on this earth.
