How about signing the poems so they can be reproduced with credit given where it is due! - please give me a name to associate rather than a website for the “Mother’s Tears” poem.

Both these poems are brilliant, and I was wondering if I could use an excerpt from the first one to argue against a point made in a book, for a school project.

Please email me if you have any objections, and I will add the URL of the website to credit the author, as I can’t seem to find a name.

Thanks You, and keep writing!

The resources, the time and the energy that have been and still are being used to divide citizens in many countries of the world could have been very well spent on education, creating unity and fulfilling some basic human needs.
It is not in the best interest of any group, leader or country to play the race, ethnic, religion, color or etc card. The atrocity as the result of any division jeopardizes the political and economic wellbeing of a nation and subjects its citizens to pain and suffering.
Those who believe in creating a wall between people better think twice. Dividing may not take time but reuniting once split requires more time, energy and forgiveness. There is no easy fix for getting peace back.
Brother and sisters: Isn’t it time to focus on things that unite us rather than focusing on our differences? The number of things that we can work on together to benefit human kind outnumbers the differences we may have.
You are right. It is time for all of us who believe in unity to stand up and break down the walls that try to separate us

BREAK DOWN THE WALLS wonderfully expresses questions that need to be answered with deep sentiment. I noticed it was written on Pearl Harbor Day. This reminded me of the walls built by the U.S. at that time.

U.S. first embargoed scrap metal and gasoline shipments to Japan, and closed the Panama Canal to Japanese shipping. Then the U.S. froze Japan’s assets in the U.S., and began a complete oil embargo. Oil was Japan’s most crucial lack in resources; her own supplies were very limited — 80+% of Japan’s imports came from the U.S.

This finally pushed the Japanese into the provocation the U.S. government needed to convice The People of the U.S. to enter WWII. The People of the U.S. did not want to enter WWII. The U.S. government engineered it by building walls.

Yes My friend, the debt of war can never be repaid. It keeps on rising fed by more fear, hate and greed. When would people ever learn that war never solves problem. war breeds war.
