We're learning something new every single day - some of it is encouraging - other reports give fear - it seems some LOVE to spread the fear - and I refuse to accept all their predictions. good poem

I like this passage of scripture, but I think that far too many feel that if we are meek it is a sigh of weakness. But in essence meekness required a lot of strength.

I agree. It is a bit similar to "turn the other cheek".

"Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth." You got it LisaMay. Those the are powerful shall meet one more powerful as chaos consumes their soul. Or as the saying goes, Those that live by the sword die by the sword.

This 5-7-5 suite, The Meek Shall Inherit the Earth, has the right set up and seems to indicate that we are not the meek referred to.

I don't think humans are very good at being meek.
Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written 5-7-5 suite about facing grief is making us stronger and keep us praying on our knees that will lead us to the gate of the eternal life with Jesus Christ our Saviour.

Man thought he was in control, but he is not.
I liked especially the final verse. I only hope that the cleaning up will prove to the world what kind of mess, as you put it, we are doing with our cars, trucks, plane's, boats. Nice to have, but not for the earth.

Thanks for reviewing. Once we come out of this, I think we should turn out attention to the next major battle - that of permanently caring for our environment.
(I have always been intrigued by people's use of apostrophes and what influences their decisions. I get confused. Could you please enlighten me about why, in your review, you have cars, trucks, and boats without an apostrophe, but you have put one in plane's?)

Sorry, I was not even paying attention to my spelling here. I think it came up on the top of my iPad in autocorrect.
-
Autocorrect is not as smart as it thinks it is - I have seen such weird words in sentences and wondered what the hell the writer intended, when it was a simple slip of the finger and autocorrect turned it into a completely different word lacking any context at all. In fact, it gave me an idea for an unintelligible story based on autocorrections and asking the reader to translate the real meaning. I might write one some day.
-
I have had some good laughs at times over the silly words that replaced what I had intended. But I hate it doing it all the time. You have to reread, otherwise, you don?t know what you are sending.

It's a good way to keep people guessing, haha!

This has a bit of inside humor with the worm farm. Thanks for the author notes. I like this format. It is extremely readable. I think 'excess has made a mess' is more than just a reference to extra toothpaste. Definitely more than one level going on.

It is so amazing how our minds are triggered. Just one little gesture can cause our thoughts to catapult into an extreme scenario. We have so much time right now and so many thoughts, as are inherent in your poems each day.

An interesting train of thought lies in this poem. The human race has been anything but meek and so perhaps we had better leave the disaster we have made of the earth to the earthworms who surely must be the closest to it.

An interesting choice of stringing 5-7-5. It would have been impossible to tell the story without that continuity. I enjoyed reading. Had to smile of the toothpaste and worms. Like I tell my wife...squeeze from the bottom! Bill
