Comment from Irish Rain
Congratulations on this well deserved win!
This is such a beautiful poem, and I identified
with every single word.
I wish the country could be more united too.
One thing is for sure, God's will, will be the
final answer.
Loved this,
blessings...

Thanks, Irish. I just hope He thinks we are worth saving.

Certainly He does. He loves us, and that hasn't changed. Just keep knowing and believing. God bless...

Your frustration is well felt, and hope is at an all-time low. We have idiots to the left of us; morons to the right, and worse of all are what we have going to the polls without insight, wisdom, and even a history of what and where we came from.are

This is such a lovely poem. It sounds like you have a wonderful dream. You have expressed the sentiments very well and affected me emotionally. The picture your words painted in my mind helped me to visualize your dream and to share your vision. I enjoyed the diplomatic view and your inclusion of faith in God. Fantastic job! Congratulations on the win!

Thanks for your kind words. We are certainly headed down the wrong road.

Your assessment of the world today is in agreement with most people today. But best of all, you solution is to pray and that is the only way for us to have a sense of peace.
Congratulations on the win, Paul!!

Thanks, Helen. I was wondering how I would do against the prose pieces.

You did great!
Comment from LisaMay
It sure does seem that the only course left to us to get out of this nightmare is to pray and pray and pray. Peace and unity, and regaining our freedom are the priorities, but maybe they will become distant memories. Let's pray not.

Comment from Pearl Edwards
I'm not sure that your dream for peace and harmony in your country or the world will ever be a reality, unfortunately. Too many pow hungry wealth seeking individuals for that. Enjoyed your poem and, good luck in the contest. Cheers

I enjoyed reading your poem "Wake up America" there are a few countries I could name that could benefit from waking up at this difficult time in our lives. Good luck in the contest. Stay safe and well.

Comment from lancellot
This is a good poem. Sad, but well written and you did a good job articulating your dream and what you see when awake. I think it will do well as unity and a better world, where people work for a common goal is the dream. But, remember there are many good things today, that happen each day. Life can be, an often is good.
Good luck in the contest.
