Arms Or Alms? Comments

Great poem, great advice. That unifies hearts and does not divide.

So rightly, denouncing what always has been. Billions used for our own destruction when they could be used to do so much good. A womderful poem, so clear and right, it should be read by many especially those ' in charge

I thank all of you for all your comments.As poets we could be more vocal to those in power but I'm not convinced they'll listen. The ballot box may be the only way.

Arms or Alms? superb thoughtful poem. Enjoyable

I fully agree and endorse what you have written David. What is this arms race for? Why war? what are we achieving by it?

Prolific work.......truly significant....thank u, dear poet...

Great condemnation of countries the world over that with war will destroy us without morals without need. Stupid rulers should listen to poets. Maybe they will learn something! Thank you for this iluminated work!

I hear David I do question that Bravo!

Each and every stanza stands out. Liked the title.

Well presented supported with facts. War must always be abhorred in all its forms. To my Poem List.

A powerful and profound poem. A great wake up call to all leaderd of the world.

It's sad to contemplate the myriad better uses the excess military spending could be put to. The figure you mentioned is astronomical. Excellent writing!

It's sad to contemplate the myriad better uses the astronomical amount of money spent on war

" It is shameful that this amount of money Isn't being spent on ending world poverty, The eradication of disease and tackling Climate change. ".. most forceful write. Rulers, are you listening?

Your wonderful poem poses a most pertinent question before the global leaders: when will this madness end? Nations spending USD 1774 trillion on arms, whereas this precious money should have been spent on alleviation of hunger and universal health.
