All that you wrote is sound, righteous and true. Some who claim to Christian have no problem with loving their neighbor, their physical neighbor, but they will move heaven and earth to make sure that certain people are never allowed to move into their neighborhood. These foolish people do not seem to realize that every man is your neighbor, no matter where he resides.

Comment from James Ott
Wonderfully done. I took pleasure in reading the lines. The subject matter is welcome. The sense of the hierarchy that is so very real to some people clearly is important to the author. I found genius in the thoughts and how they were placed in the work, and how the author was able to rhyme. The conclusion that change for the better resides first in the person is so very true.

Comment from BethShelby
It isn't our place to judge our fellowman or feel we are better or our idea and beliefs are better than other. I sure people or very much alike all over the world. The world I grew up in sounds like yours. Negros were treated about like you Aboriginals and women were not paid like men. I'm glad things have improved to some degree.

It seems to me that the world would be a better place if everyone practiced the Golden Rule. That and the Ten Commandments would be all it takes. In the meantime, we must pray. There will always be injustice in the world. Until He comes again.

Comment from RGstar
Man is an enigma to himself. The concepts created, are to him and to him only, and sometimes some deem themselves to have dominion over other men, simply in a question of power...until finding out it is worth very little.
Best wishes.

Comment from Terry Broxson
A well-done poem, with a not so gentle subtext as to what is going on in Ukraine. I know that some ask why God allows someone like Putin to exist? The better question is why does man allow him to prevail? Excellent work, Roy!

Comment from Begin Again
I guess I was blessed to always believe everyone was entitled to equality regardless of race, creed, religion, wealth or all other determining factors. I can't imagine thinking I am better and what makes others believe they are entitled to so much more than another.
Smiles, Carol

This is a good type of food for thought, when one goes deep in depth of their thought process. Nevertheless, you did your thing with this poem. Keep Writing

Comment from Ulla
I admire your beliefs in an omnipresent God, Roy. I think Putin is a living proof of all evil which man is capable of. It also shows me that no God can ever save us out of this one. There's only one way. We have to fight back with all our might.
We, in the Western world, have come a long way, and tried to rectify all our wrongs. Once again we're up against a beast who's hellbent on destroying all our values. Ulla:)))
