I am saddened, in fact dismayed
For the attention that I have paid
To fellow poets who fail to perceive
That they should enlighten and not deceive.
Poetry brings solace and tranquility
It’s no battleground for verbal stupidity.
It transcends gender, religion and ethnicity
It’s not an excuse for madness and eccentricity.
Keep this site clean of hatred and aggression.
Go elsewhere with your childishness and regression.
Excellent message. Most relevant to this day. We are all here to celebrate poetry, enjoy good poetry. Not to fight among us for supremacy. Most relevant message, Ghada
Well done, this message should be heard... but as said, it will not be heard by those who need to hear. Sx
Well said, but for the warlords all the world is a battleground, poetry, philosophy, religion and ethics are but weapons to terrorise. What they refuse to realise is that in the end all the good dies.
hear, hear! sadly, the warmongers won't heed this. they never do.
