An interesting start to a poem but I was expecting more of it.

As Dalton has said, the talk between the two should be more binding if both wanted peace, there is a quandary here.
They should both have talked about the person and not the beliefs ether of them had, it would have made more of an acceptance..

I liked what you wrote. Maybe Ian T. gave it more thought than I did. I just thought the "poem" was too short I wanted more. Just my opinion

It is a Zulu greeting to another, They just say "I see you"
This greeting in its simplicity means a lot to the two that are meeting.
In those three words they totally accept the other person.
I might be corrected here but I have always accepted it so,
It was really good to be greeted in such a way,
Yours Ian.T

I still think this is a strong piece handled well. It has the feel of ancient wisdom. That sounds bad but you know what I mean. Still leaves me with a thirst for more.

I might be reading more into this than is here but it sounds like a Muslim who has immagrated to America where he knows he is safe practicing his religion.................stan
