Raising My Voice For Once Comments

They live side by side and like two sides of the coin we have to embrace it gently.

Good n bad exist side by side but i share your ideal of a perfect Utopian land. We poets in fact are idealistic souls craving a world where only goodness reigns. The acts of evil are very disturbing to sensitive souls. Though reaching this ideal state of existence is hard but we must dream. It makes life more tolerable. A thoughtful n thought-provoking write.

I share with you that paradox of a personal tendency toward quiet disagreement but vulnerable to the gravitational pull of toxic arguments─followed, of course, by quiet remorse. And in that quiet remorse, I too, dream of that Utopian existence of harmony without conflict, but a dream that must ignore the faults of my own humanity which would wreck such a garden with the serpentine flicking of my own sharp tongue. Thank you, Daniel, for this interlude in your Elysian meditation, it was a peaceful dalliance, indeed.

The world, in some mysterious way, is The Garden, Eden perhaps, or Humbaba's forest, or a utopian- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Imagine in an idle moment what trees will shelter the people working in the summer's heat to make their place a site of everlasting homecoming.- - - - - - - Loved the way you view this world as a heavenly garden and trees as sheltering people working under Summer heat and a place of everlasting home coming. Your love and care for the world and its greenery is outstanding.

I love it when you raise your voice...and others do as well. You are not alone in this expressive writing nor in its title. Personally, I have felt this way myself. I have felt that I have to raise my voice more now than ever before...not because I think the world is wicked or loving...but because we as a human race are both and we need to be held accountable and take responsibility for our role in this Eden...or whatever we might call it. Nice symmetry and plot to this writing and very fitting. To cinch our accord or mark our discord...a lovely rhyme and recurring theme...and the insertion of the word 'trumped, ' a clever and not so subtle reference....Thanks for sharing.
