Bravo, for the expression support for equal rights for all. We are all of the human race, as you so eloquently stated here on this free verse poem. The world is spinning out of control. There are too many shootings

Hi Teresa

Well said. One of the timely issues of the world that needs addressing. We all need to make the effort to stand with one voice, be compassionate and tolerant of those who live differently to us and of different race and religion. Learning and understanding should overcome the fear of the unknown. I love your final five lines. A catch-cry which would be wonderful if heard throughout every country. Strong emotive wording, standing up and calling out is what you have written here, with courage and unity of like thinkers who enjoy peace and freedom. Nice to read a post from you. Well done. Hugs - Lovi xoxo

Excellent Poem! The author's words are strong, creative and thought provoking.
The reader pondered on the words of this poem. The artwork is perfect and compliments the theme of this poem.

People need to stand and be heard as this poem depicts.

Incidents like the shooting at the Pulse in Orlando would not occur if people simply owned their actions and stopped trying to dictate how others will live.

Until then, the unfortunate truth appears to be that the violence will only continue to escalate.

This is a timely piece with a beautiful message.

You've made good use of personification for strong imagery.
I spot effective incidental rhymes and good use of consonance.

Excellent write. Thanks for sharing.

This poem has a very good thought process in its poetic voice. We are all brothers in the reality of life and living. This was an excellent piece of poetic art to have read and written this response for... John

Tab: it's time for people to stand up and speak out about our freedom rights.
We love our family and country. The ones who kill because of our color, they
are wrong. Too many deaths this week due to shootings. We need to spread love and pray for our country. God sees the hearts of his people and nations. We all
have gifts and talents. Well written poem. flylikeaneagle

This free verse, A Voice, is one that witnesses the emergence of the activist from the throng of spectators. It reminds us that justice takes JUST US to make it happen or not.

Hi Teresa, this is a strongly worded and well written poem of which I am one hundred per cent in awe of, the things happening in your native America at the moment are very frightening, we here in England have our problems but, thank God, they are only political my friend.

This is a fine philosophical sentiment and a very good social commentary dear Teresa! My only complaint is that it stops short. Otherwise bravo.
