Jesse,
This well written free verse is a good way to fight all the violence and killing as of late. It uses opposites to show how we must be accepitng of differences in each other to create a peaceful world.
Keep writing and stay heatlhy.

Thank you, Joan, for this insightful and encouraging review. I appreciate your kind comments. I would like to think that I have helped to create a peaceful world. Thank you, for the excellent rating and review.
Have a lovely day,

Comment from June Sargent
The willingness to see another person's viewpoint does not negate your own. It takes balance to maintain peace. The world has become imbalanced and it is up to us as individuals to take personal responsibility not to overreact. Be less offensive and more defensive - of plant animal and human rights.
let love be in fashion once again---
not only be a lover, but also a friend
In the end, you will recover all the time you spend

Impressive heart felt poem. You have a few very inventive lines. It is obvious you are very comfortable writing poetry. I wish I had your talent. Well done!

Comment from Gloria ....
This is so good, Jesse. You've managed to bring together the kindness and care and concern for all living things that is so very dear to my heart too. With so much evil and thoughtless cruelty in the world it is refreshing to read the words of a fellow poet whose goal is to aim for harmony over discord, unity over division, and inclusion over exclusion.
Always a pleasure to read and review your fine works. :))

Hello Jesse,
You written an excellent list of ideas to consider.
I like many of your descriptions, like:
"Conclusions reached with black and white thinking..."
"A good idea gone terribly wrong was yesterday's song"
and especially the last part:
"Make a difference--
take care of your sisters and brothers
in spite of the history that blocks compassion;
let love be in fashion once again---"
I would move "in the end" to the front of the line
not only be a lover, but also a friend
[In the end,] you will recover all the time you spend
Well done.
Best wishes to you. my friend.
Stay safe.

You always bring unity, togetherness and thoughtfulness to the fore...something close to my own heart often reflected.
Never do I fail to be impressed with the humility you exude.
Be as you are.
My best wishes.

If everyone followed those simple rules, this world would be the envy of the universe. It wouldn't take much. Perhaps a few brain transplants. I wish your lovely world would happen, Jesse. :) Sandra xx
