Remembering Remembrance Day Poem by Richard Wlodarski

Remembering Remembrance Day

Rating: 4.6


Let us not make war
Where we can find peace
Let us not hear gunfire
Where there are sounds of silence
Let us not taste blood
Where there's food for thought
Let us not smell revenge
Where there is only love
Let us not soulfully look
Into the face of evil
And see only face of Satan
But rather acknowledge the sin

David, in all of the years that I've been on POD, I've received some truly wonderful comments. And not once, have I received one that recommends the poem for both categories. You have truly made my day! And have left me...speechless!

Hardly you can find a few people who are honest, simple and very down to the earth! We forget the basic purpose for which we are here! Loved the great message that your little poem disseminates to the society! Top Score!

Let us not taste blood Where there's food for thought....good and peace loving people can only think in this great way dear Richard. Where there is jealousy and hatred people can go to any extent. This sphere has turned into a h-e-l-l because of egoism, hatred and greed for power and position!
