Poem Power Poem by Theresa Ann Moore

Here’s a thought that’s very simplistic.
It is naïve, but not completely unrealistic.
The outlook for harmony seems unclear.
This poetic suggestion could elevate fear.

The energy derived from reading
Can contribute to succeeding.
A poem can encourage aspirations
Influencing minds of many nations.

The power of poetry is surprising.
It can get your awareness rising.
Verses penned with consideration…
Poems of love can give inspiration.

Prayer poems offer spiritual salvation
Giving hope to a world with frustration.
Healing words are more than antiseptic.
Recovery is accessible, even to a skeptic.

If all the poets of the world could unite …
Poems of peace would calm; not incite.
Perhaps all of humanity would respond
Discarding hostility with a curing bond.
