About This Author
My name is Joy, and I love to write.
Why poetry, here? Because poetry uplifts its writer, and if she is lucky enough, her readers, too. Around us, so many objects abound to write about. Once a poet starts with a smallest, most trivial object, he shall discover that his pen will spill out what is most delicate or most majestic hidden inside him. Since the classics sometimes dealt with lofty subjects with a lofty language, a person with poetry in his soul may incline to emulate that. That is understandable. Poetry does that to a person: it enlarges the soul and gives it wings. Yet, to really soar, a poet needs to take off from the ground.

Prompt: What do you want to let go of? Write about this in your Blog entry today.
------------
Right now, I want to let go of worrying about the World War III. I just hope people and countries do not take sides and let the fights take their own course, and most importantly, let the rest of us live in peace.
Although the idea is still a a hypothetical future global conflict, I don't like my country and other countries in the world taking sides in any squirmish or battle between any other two nations. I think anyone who starts a fight or anyone who instigates one should face a boycott of international relations and even commerce. That should be as far as things should go.
Just imagine what a war could do, involving all of the great powers, as in WWI and WWII, plus the use of nuclear weapons or other weapons of mass destruction. Don't nations know they will be destroying everything and even the planet?
As Gandhi said, "An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind."
There will be no winners if such a thing would happen, and unfortunately, we the people can do nothing about it.
