What is real?

Many questions are asked. Few people can speak the truth.

          





                 
                 
















 Poetry, my dear friends,
                   is a sacred incarnation of a smile.
                   Poetry is a sigh that dries the tears.
                   Poetry is a spirit who dwells in the soul,
                   who nourishment is the heart,
                   who wine is affection.
                   Poetry that comes not in this form is a false messiah.
                                  Kahlil Gibran.

                                   Perfection

                     Keep me away from the wisdom which does not cry,
                     The philosophy which does not make me laugh
                     and the greatness which does not bow before children.
                                    Kahlil Gibran

                                   The unbeliever  (The Quran-surah)
                           1. Say: Unbelievers.
                           2. I do not serve him that which you serve.
                           3. Nor do you serve him whom I serve.
                           4. Nor am I going to serve that which you serve.
                           5. Nor are you going to serve him whom I serve.
                           6. You shall have your religion and I shall have my religion.
                                             Quran


                         What is real?

I watched the news on CNN. Men trying to confuse us with double talk.
We were warned of a time where the government would want to control all things.
Something should be easy to understand.

The separation of religion and Government.
The Federal and state government are not banks.
Religion is a private matter.
Giving money to banks and loan companies was a bad sign.
Do they give all the poor men and woman who lost their homes and businesses a low interest loan too? No they did not.
   
If you study real common sense. If you know history. New Testament and Quran are based on love and forgiveness. Man's change the words to profit the world of money and powerful nations.

Violence bring hate. Death bring more death. Blood of father's will follow into the son's and daughter's. Create wall of new hate and desire for revenge never to end. 

Today few places are not touched by war.
War blocked out the real problems.
The Gulf of Mexico was killed off with oil.
Nuclear waste dumped into the Asia seas.
30 million will died of starvation this year in Africa. 

Brother's are killing brother's in all parts of this world.
Religion is not the problem.
Hate and foolishness is the problem.
A bomb exploded in the USA.
Killed men/woman and children in Oklahoma city.
A bomb exploded in Baghdad open market killing innocent shoppers.
Children in the kindergarten in the USA are learning to take cover if
there is a attack.
Did we lose our minds? When did the world fall on the path of hate and destruction?

A eye for a eye world will end with no winners.
Time to lock-up all the world leaders in a room.
Like the days of Unions.
Can't come out till all problems are fixed.
The country with internal struggle must gather the men and woman of wisdom.
Have peace talks and quit killing their brother's and sister's.
Must stop the blood.

Brother's must stop killing their fellow country men and women.
Powerful nations need to sent Soldiers with food and water to the starving nations.
I'm Ojibwa/Mexican.

I believe will take the circle of life to find peace.
Need all races to demand peace and end to war.
Pollution and destruction of this planet must stop.
It won't matter if you are a Muslim, Christian or a believer of nothing.
A nuclear weapon will put all of us on the path of no return.

I pray the madness must end.
For the sake of the children everywhere.
No-one want their babies to die.
We must change direction and allow our children to grow-up without fear and great hope.
 
Poet and writers must lead the way. Need to hear voices strong and loud. Someone must lead this world from a destiny of pain and destruction.

Reviews

[Zeitgeist Manifesto]

(Paraphrases)

Christianity: Love your neighbor as you love yourself.
Islam: Hurt no one..that no one would hurt you
Buddism: Hurt not others in ways that you yourself would find hurtful
Confucianism: Seek to be in harmony with all your neighbors.
Judaism: That which is hateful to you...do not do to your neighbor

Its amazing how we pick and choose the scriptures that "justify" the way we mistreat each other. You spoke words that the world desperately needs to hear right now.

[Sagar Waingankar]

A truth, a fact is defined quite well with real life situations! What we see is truth! Eyes and conscious never lies. Very well written brother! Admire for your work! Thanks for sharing such beautiful piece of art!

[Anthony M Smith Jr]

HaHo (Hello),
At times your words made me feel like this was a plea to humanity! Like we want to do something or say something but I am afraid its for naught! Give up? No, better to burn out than fade away!
Putting our hearts into our words, maybe that someone who really has a say will change and another. What else can us mere mortals do?
Good one my friend!
Life and Light!

"Brother's are killing brother's in all parts of this world.
Religion is not the problem.
Hate and foolishness is the problem."

This is often a matter of contention to many. Religion. Yet i sort of agree with you. I think that RELIGION shouldn't be the problem. I find that people MAKE it the problem then the seeds of segregation and discrimination arise from this religious pride. We are following a never ending circle of hatred, ignorance and deception. I always hope that the masses would be as wise as your words...but again we are not and unfortunately that is what fuels this vicious cycle of war, death, hunger and deception.

I appreciate these powerful words my friend...If only all men would too...

Fantastic Job..!!!

[Judas Hammer]

Bravo, this is how revolution starts, When a nation takes over it's own people, it kills its artist and poets. This is a brave piece, and you are a leader in this movement. We are heading toward and electronic dark ages, writing such as this gives us hope... genius as usual sir

[Omar Fendri]

firstly, I was so glad to see you posting one of my favorite arabic writers Gibran Khalil Gibran (جبران خليل جبران) who actually had fought all his life starting with his sketch "free Syria" during the World War I.
So your poem is what it is called "The loud voice to awake humanity" because only God knows how blinded we become so far.
The Holy Quran as Allah says in Surah Al-Baqara ""ذلك الكتاب لا ريب فيه هدى للمتقين" (This Book, there is no doubt in it, is a guide to those who guard (against evil).).
This life is just an ephemeral test... why to darken it?
I love the peacefulness you are trying to spread through your spoken words. Outstanding.

[Ladysue]

[Neva Flores Smith - Cha..]
