I have lost the child
Of a lonely man
Not in an accident nor war
A suffering psyche of scar
Has lost peace to seed
Fear’s possessive greed
Of a mother’s doubt what could be
If she were free

Of all world’s men
Not by fighting back to win
A loving heart within
Has found peace to share
Forgiveness to take care
Of a father’s knowing what can be
Because he’s free
To truly love
![You get an understanding and compassionate ear here, but the most significant benefit lies in permitting me to offend you. First of all, if I didn’t dare to offend, I couldn’t be honest.

I will, however, offend you with substance, so you can accomplish getting very clear on your worldview / identity: Who are you really beyond social conditioning? What would you stand for if you had the self-confidence to overcome social pressure? Why are you here as a complete human being beyond economic considerations? Also, the feeling of being offended is a warning indicator that is showing you where to look within yourself for unresolved issues.

But shall I, therefore, feed them with more of what is not suitable for health? I’ve learned that if I love myself, I have the courage to allow me to get offended (which doesn’t mean to let me abuse, though). ...

We pray with open hands and, so too, we love . . . Enjoyed the thoughtful read, my friend
Thank you so much! Take care
Loved the contrast, beautifully written
Thank you so much!
That is absolutely beautiful, Mathias. Thank You. 🙂
Sending you my gratitude! Thank you very much.
My pleasure! 🙂
Beautiful. Thank you for the inspiration.
I thank you!
language from the heart is never complex because it needs no thinking, only feeling. Inspired
Thank you very much! It was exactly like that:-)
Very soundly put. Fear so often negates any love a person might feel; whilst certitude confirms love for all humanity.
Profound, Mathias.

Thanks a lot, Patty. It came from deep within, yes:-)
Your poem is really well-written. It took me a long while to realise that fighting against my fear would only make it grow bigger and swallow me whole. It’s love which is the key to soothe my emotions.
Thanks for your wise comment! All the best
