For men can kill
each other,
but will never
wipe out
hope

This ending is magnificent! No matter the magnitude of disaster created, the one thing that will out stand all .... is hope!

This is a very deep thought provoking poem.

Underneath the debris
the soft grass perseveres,
refusing to die and
succumb to destruction.

I love this stanza. It shows life still goes on. Fighting to still stand.

For men can kill
each other,
but will never
wipe out
hope.

I love the ending stanza Ingrid. Hope and faith are so strong inside our hearts. No one can take that away.
Excellent!

A very inspiring poem. It gives a message throughout the world.

ِThe last stanza was really moving.

The only word we could trust is 'Hope'

Great write!
