I Live In Hope (In Memory Of Martin Luther King Jr.) Comments

Really wonderful poem, it's a great shame that our species still hasn't found a way of living in harmony and peace.

Halo DAnny, You are very thoughtful and have a very deep sense of inequality that is so much evident in our world and let us all pray and wait for that magnificent day, in which our dream of love, compassion, and decent human existence is possible and really exist. The basic problem is we all are selfish to a great extent, and we are not willing to forgo Even a bit of our holding or comfort to help our brothers or sisters, and many are eager to exploit others. This being the case, only miracle can make a change. I have a small poem The. Fence. Pse read it. That is our basic behaviour.

I discovered this poem, epic, in it's wealth and timely in it's unfolding....for today, a day after the United States celebrates MLK Jr. Day... And as his speeches still sound court loudly, for those of us who believe in the basic and ongoing struggle for human rights, for all....so too, the echoed voice of Danny Draper is heard, and applauded, as he believes in the hope....I pray for the PEACE. Wonderful declaration. Thank you for the privilege to read it, and sign on!

Wonder how I missed this WONDERFUL poem! How we all long for the dawn of such a world, if it ever happens! To visualize such a world in our imagination in itself is so noble! How as a teenager I used to get thrilled by that great speech of Martin Luther King (Jr) when it was prescribed in our High School Reader! ! A brilliant poem Danny!

Only someone so compassionate, thoughtful, imaginative and bright could of covered such a subject with such a feel of desperately meaning it and as far as i noticed not miss out one sector or type...a beautiful wholesome piece which im sure the man himself would of appreciated.... well done...than you and oh yes and CONGRATUALTIONS! ! ! ! on getting your book published....

you do have such high hopes and more power to you Danny, such an inspiring poem....

Wow fantastic adorable utopia but it is posible. Gr8 how u say, ' respectful of our difrences' and kudos 4 terming discrimnatn to be archaic. And poetically humane how u put it, 'those who seek protectin frm tyrany be not despised.'

I suppose Valerie might have expected something about respect for other creatures and the environment. Excellent in the human to human category though, Danny. the style of those uniform long sentences has great consistency. I can hear Martin in them.

Wonderful Danny - and I live in such hope too, but we have a very long way to go yet. Is there a bit missing at the end Danny, it seems to fall short.....
