In Peril Comments

We are the last of a surviving breed Let us rise up to see our world freed From all shackles that bind us tight And strive to bring it to newer light! .....outstanding conceptualization. Beautifully inscribed on Peril. Visited this poem time and again.

Great! Only a great heart can do it.

Nations are cruelly torn apart.....Each looks at other in deadly scorn....this is the tragedy we see unfolding. None can be left untouched with grief and sorrow. While we are loosing our peace of mind and grieve with pain the leaders of this world....they only think in terms of winning and loosing. Very touching poem Valsa. Thanks for sharing.

A poem that voices universal concern on man's fate on earth. He is sadly creating his own ruin everywhere. Your poem ends in hope despite the dark clouds looming over us. Let us hope your prayer is answered in coming days and let us have an end to our strife-torn days (10) .

A timely poem full of compassion and depth of feeling. The plight of a refugee by land and sea to a far off unknown land is filled with misery. All caused by one's own fellow beings. Hope things will settle peacefully as the poem intends.

A truly wonderful write as another comment said, outstanding…

Violence is brutal and all should leave this. Very wonderful and thought provoking poem shared really. All should hear and realize the agony that Mother Earth sings here. Wonderful sharing really.

Outstanding write! The madness and the evil that is in the world is a frightening reality we must learn to love and protect the vulnerable and embrace them with care and kindness to people who are running away from such evil.

Nothing new, children have been committing this sin since their hands were spared for misdeeds. A great poem...............

Oh my, I hope you don't mind but had to tweet your poem. I wish people would stop and look at what they are doing. I always love reading you poems! !

Wonderfully written, Valsa. Unfortunately it could apply to any time period in man's history. We have learned and grown little as a species

A very inspiring poem and a call to arms to create a world where love and caring for neighbour should take centre stage.

A very timely call to all men and women in this world in turmoil. Who would care to listen, I wonder. yet it is a very inspiring and thought provoking poem. Enjoyed. Thanks for waking up sleeping minds.
