Talking about a revolution

As an American , this makes me think of the Martin Luther King statue that was just erected. So far , but in some ways not so far.

Much enjoyed this :)

It's supposed to be a perfect body and mind and spirit of which there aren't many on this goddam earth at the moment. OOps Sorry

But thanks for reading and commenting Maggie-

;)Pia

No apologies necessary .... ;)

and I thoroughly agree :)

A 'strong' write, Pia.

Best of luck in the competition;-)

I like this a lot. Before I read your explanation, this made me think of our ancestors sending themselves into the future through us, their unblemished children. I like the powerful style you use. it's adamant.

Love the title, Pia. As Tina says, a very strong piece. All the best with the competition!

Hello Pia,

there's quite a lot of truth in what you have
written here.

When we come into the world, we are perfect, but
the moment we are born, the long journey of being a human and all its tragedies and consequences begins.

This was how I read your poem, hope that it was
right what I read.

I wish you all the luck in the world with the
competition.

Jenny.

Hi Word Reiver- that is a very nice interpretation. I'm glad you could get so much from this and thank you for your comment.

Hi Jenny
yes the young are still pretty unspoiled I think. And we haven't made a fantastic world for them to inherit, have we? So much trouble and strife. But you did get it spot on. Thank you for reading and leaving such a good comment and thank you for the good wishes. I hope you can see your way to an entry. I'm sure you could come up with something good.

Thanks Julie

Thank you very much Cormacru-glad you liked it.

I had to read this several times-but think I got it. It's very powerful and enigmatic. You know your writing just gets better and better Pia. Good luck in the comp. I won't be enerting. Firstly, I have the dreaded writers block. Secondly, I find the whole cherry thing stressful enough without worrying about competitions. But then that's just me!

Poor OTT- I feel for you. Thank you for your good wishes and your fine comment

I like this quite a bit. It comes at a fitting time here in America with the "occupy wall street" movement, not to politicize the poetry thread.

Thanks Sean- I think it is great to politicize this- that's it- however you want to do it- just do it!
