    Poem Commentary

    This was the very first poem I ever wrote... back in March of 1981. I was just a little wolf back then. Young and inexperienced.

    Greed Of Man

     Listen to my story and see how we crave
    Of ancient days and evil ways
    How one must die to save his brother
    And the love they have for one another

    Crumbled kingdoms which now must die
    Buried beneath the earth they lie
    Broken homes and far away places
    Fearful looks upon their faces
    Starving children diseased and poor
    What now does the future hold in store

    My Dearest Friend , this was a bit of a tugger...another fav...so true, we see so much unbalanced in today's Earth....if only most could push out all negative away from self into the Universe so it can transpire into Positive...oh what a wondrous place we could be...Mankind has the Power and Ability to thrive and Manifest good things just as much as it has to destroy itself....A Dynamic Piece...Keep sharin'...Love and Light,Tierra@}-'-,

    Sad and true, my friend. A story that will never end.

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
