One has barely recovered from the shock of one shooting these days when another one raises its ugly head. Your poem is a much needed call to action. Things will not change except in the face of overwhelming public opinion.

Comment from nancyrabbrose
Well done. Would that all the world could read your poem and live it.
Since you wrote your poem more lives have been brutally lost to violence because of fear and hate. I encourage you and all poets to keep on writing and sending out into the world psychically our good thoughts and hopes for equanimity.
I loved reading your poem and like the illustration.

Thanks so much Nancy for the wonderful six star review:)
Comment from Dawn Munro
Wow, Teresa, talk about being on the same wavelength! I SWEAR to you I did not read this before writing "Haunted Halls" (OR its notes) - as God is my witness. But you HAVE to read it now - the whole human race idea is exactly the point.
God help them, those who stand tall and proud unaware they're facing lunatics until it is too late...God help us all when dignity is only for SOME!

Comment from barbara.wilkey
I have no clue why we all can't be tolerant of each other. I don't have to agree to be tolerant. It's not my job to judge. Thank you for sharing your wonderful poem with us.

I'd prefer acceptance but would settle for tolerant from all. Thanks so much:)
Comment from Pam (respa)
-A good image.
-Well written poem expressing your feelings
about the importance of speaking out.
-Good imagery:
"my opinion
ground to dust."
-I think it is common that it takes a while
to find our voice and make our choice.
-And when we do, it is easier to speak out
and make a difference however we can.
-Thanks for sharing this.

Comment from rspoet
This is a fine free verse poem
We all have that voice
and it has the power to change, improve
Sometimes change is slow, even regresses
but each voice added to the positive
diminishes the effect of the negative voices
What use is a voice, if we do not speak up to be heard
Excellent art work and poem

Comment from royowen
So many heinous crimes against humanity in recent times, they seem to be accelerating at an alarming rate, the truth of the matter is prejudice and racism is alive and well, and enough advocates to keep it alive, one only has to watch footy supportes to know that. But who hates children? Well done. Teresa, a very passionate and elegant piece of poetic art, well done, blessings, Roy

Comment from Walu Feral
G'day Teresa. Bravo mate. There is no place in my heart, or my life, for any form of inequality. I've been called lots of things over the years, but the fact is...My mother was black, my wife is Filipino and I'm white. I hate any kind of abuse and people who think they stand over others.
You are a star mate and I'm proud of you.
Cheers Fez
