     this is a nice hopeful piece of work.
the only thing, i think, that i had any sort of conflict with is the line that said that the world wasn't like it used to be...
unfortunately, as long as there have been humans - there has been conflict. the evolution of technology has just made it possible for us to see it all.

     I really like the message you are conveying, but I think the flow was kind of off. Maybe try getting a less amount of words to express what you want to say. You dig?
by the way that is an awesome title.
Cheers,

     This is a great poem of ones love for his fellow man/woman. Wishing them all good will. The one line I didn't understand 'the world wasn't like it use to be' whats that mean (past tense)thought it was a nice poem regardless. + Report this comment |  |

     It has a great title and a great message. I wonder if you mean to use the word "than" instead of "then" in the last line. Thanks for the great read and keep writing. + Report this comment |  |

     You have redeemed yourself, for me anyway.
I feared you were going down with Leonard Cohen Syndrome. (Thats the sickness where you become a parody of yourself and everybody knows it but you).
There is always light at the end of the tunnel because the optimists made sure that the switch couldn't be seen by anybody who wallows in self pity.
They don't raise their heads often enough to clock it.
Kind regards
