all lifeforms gasp,
the window’s closing,
soon comes the rasp.
coerced to hate,
let those who revile us
decide our fate.
strong winds blow,
oceans threaten,
divisions grow.
When peace?
Remember love.
Divine beseech.
to mind the reins,
and work together,
to heal this pain.
is to look inside,
let naked truths,
erode our pride.
our fate still bends,
awaken quickly,
or this story ends.
When peace?
Come Revolution.
Divine beseech.

Thank you very much!
Spot on! This one got me. Thanks for sharing Eric
I'm glad it resonated! Thank you for reading, my friend!
@ericvancewalton, After reading this poetry piece, i want to say one thing and that is, in my opinion you've touched the practical point which we are watching and by that i mean, now in this world we are watching more negativity than positivity, fear, rumours of war, hatred and false dominations. And most importantly we have to understand one aspect and that is Earth is Living Organism and it also breathe, so our Collective Consciousness can keep earth in Balanced State or Distressed State. So most importantly we have to understand one thing and that is, we should understand that we are energy and whatever energy produced it holds the same and equal reactions to it, so for negative thoughts and energies earth also behaves negatively. So let's spread love and kindness to make this world more peaceful and full of brotherhood essence.
Wishing you an great day and stay blessed. 🙂
Nice rhythm and a good read.
I enjoyed this and the Divine is listening. :)
Thank you! Yes, I have no doubt...the Divine is listening!
Poem starts with warning and ends with solution . Beautiful wording . I like this poem
I appreciate it!
That was tight. As one would say the truth will set you free.
Thanks brother!
every word embodies my perspective, I just kept "yes"ing through each stanza :-)
So glad you enjoyed it Ruth!
Wonderful poetry nice writting.
Gorgeous poem, my friend and deep meaning decisive action inspires me! Thanks Eric
I love this, although sometimes I do worry it might be too late - that we might screw up, have no chance etc. But maybe we do. Phenomenally beautiful, Eric.
And hopeful.
I really appreciate it @honeydue! I sometimes wonder it's too late myself but am more afraid of the downward spiral of apathy that hopeless feeling would spark. Getting prepared for SteemFest?
True, what's the point of thinking that way? Certainly not helpful!
Yeah, I'm really excited - I can't wait to meet everyone. It's really going to be a different experience to the ones I've had so far, so should be interesting.
So true. Not the way I'd like to live. I can promise you that SteemFest will change you in a few ways. I'm really feeling some regret about not going but it was just too tricky this year timing-wise. Enjoy every moment and safe travels!
Thank you!! <3 I'm sure it will. I would've loved for you to be there, but maybe some other time!
I love it.
The first stanza was talking about Life.
2nd ,, the reality of life and new world order government over us. The political people at large.
3rd ,, the misery and mystery of life.
4th ,, the Trinity of Unity, Love and peace brings a divine environment.
I'll stop there, I don't want to review all. But the last stanza is a message of hope the whole needs, the exact right words that can put things right.
our fate still bends,
come hither quickly,
or this story ends.
It's not too late to make amend concerning this world.
Thank you @grandiosae! That's a really good analysis.
I love the progression in the poem. Making each one independent of themselves and can passed for a life journey. The repetitive
when Unity when peace Can makes it pass for a song.
My, how we do need divine intervention to resolve our global issues.
Thanks for a thought provoking poem.
😄😇😄
Thanks for reading! So true, @creatr. It gets more frightening every day.
