My Dream
Welkin Siskin lives in Seattle, Washington. He is the poet of varied nature, who writes on various themes. Poetry for him is the healing ointment of a heart destitute of vision.
He believes that poetry is the play of words, the change of verbs into nouns; the game of words surging through the heart's inside.
His poetry is the yearning for freedom, love, life, and the expression of the Nature that adorns the Universe- the mysterious eternity of the Infinite.

I wonder,
Where Ak-47 would be consigned to grave,
I wonder,
Who would help undo those 9mms?
I wonder if batons and brass knuckles are brave
I wonder who would do away with cannons and guns.
I wonder,
If flame thrower and missiles would be shunned
I wonder if bludgeon and banderillas would be done with
I wonder how safe the world would be if these lessons were learned!
I wonder,
If ammunitions and backsword would be dismantled,
I wonder when bayonet and barong would be stopped
I wonder when would wounds of those assault
Be forever healed, and munitions and artillery be forever unloved!
I wonder,
Where stovepipe and rainmakers would be forbidden,
I wonder if panoply and saber were the gifts of glory
I wonder if dart and dirk would be anytime spurned
I wonder if as times those be done with as quick the times flee.
I wonder when harpoon, bow and arrow would be turned down
I wonder if lance and machete would be scorned
I wonder when bombardments of dales and valleys, hamlet and town
Wouldforever before our eyes be disallowed and banned
I wonder,
When would howitzer and spear be prohibited?
I wonder if the world would learn about its misled fate
And shun those weapons of mass destructions
I wonder,
If the true wisdom of knowledge would guide us ever
To create a world of truth and beauty!
I have read Welkin and I am reading him each week and each day on fb and on this site. He is the writer who we can hope will be a great literary figure in the upcoming days.
I am one who read him on facebook and found him my best of all writers. Full of humanity.
Move on dear poet.
