Voices Poem by Linda Ori

Voices

Rating: 4.9


Voices of the universe
Send whispers on the wind -
The time has come
To make amends
For man has greatly sinned,

Destruction of the planet
Looms heavy on the brink,
The time has come
To make amends
For man has ceased to think:

Don't' you hear them calling?
Can't you feel their tears?
The time has come
To make amends
For man has wrought the fears;

We've caused this great pollution
That blankets all the earth
The time has come
To make amends
And justify our birth;

Oh, listen to the voices
Of wisdom from above
Remember what
You always knew...........
Our purpose is to LOVE.

Calls to do the right thing for the planet and for the race, since the latter depends on the former, are always to be cherished. They might not always be right, but they have to be listened to and respected, for they come from the right place. A very well composed poem Linda that generates a sense of urgency in the reader by means of your clever repetition, and leaves the right impression on any thinking mind. Excellent work. jim xx

With your permission I would like to copy this and place it on my dunny (toilet) wall at my Yoga studio for perusal as many people as possible. Great structure. Accessible and lyrical and spot-on sentiment. Love.... That's what it's alla bout. Allie xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Linda, great ending, our purpose IS to love! Unfortunately, we find it more purposeful to pollute the world in every sense of the word. Great write! ! Brian

Linda...got your message...Been shurking my business over the past 3 weeks, compliments of my literary rennaisance of sorts, and I'm trying to find a way to find the time to be able to continue on poemhunter on a regular basis.I've certainly been having the time of my life, but at the same time, i have a lovely wife & adoring 12yr. old daughter, who sit together every night, and call into me wondering when I'm going to log-off on the Poetry, and log-on to them, like I did every night up to 3 weeks ago.I've met so many wonderful& talented people like you Linda, and I love to write.I'm in the Advertising/Marketing field, and that means small base+ commission.Lately, like I'm doing right now, I'm up until 5 or 6 am on-line... It's like a drug! Anyway..''.VOICES' IS ANOTHER ORI SMASH...A BIG 10! I hope to juggle things so everyone & everything can be accomodated. WISH ME LUCK......I'll Catch Up With You Soon...ALL MY BEST...Frank ''''''''''''' ~F. J. R.~'''''''''''''
