Hello John
I agree with the sentiments of your monorhyme stanzas. Perhaps they could be called utopian. Yet positive thoughts and objectives wield considerable power if one is patient in following the light.
Thanks for sharing.
Stay safe and remain blessed

Love that mantra
Comment from nomi338
All good. The Bible states that we struggle not against flesh but against spirits, governments and systems. This makes the struggle impossible to overcome without God's assistance. Therefore, prayer is essential. Good write.

Comment from Seshadri_Sreenivasan
As Martin Luther King has said, darkness cannot drive darkness; Light can do that. Similarly, hate cannot drive out hate. Only love can do that! A very thoughtfully written poem indeed. Much enjoyed. Thanks for sharing!

Comment from harmony13
I liked the message in this poem. "Hate has to go"! The author's words
are engaging, hopeful, descriptive and creative. I pondered on the theme
of these words and for me was so good to hear. The artwork goes well
with this poem. Great Poem - thank you. Have a great day!....Maria

Comment from Paul McFarland
Nicely done, and the picture is great - very unique. Good advice throughout the poem. Do you really think members of congress will take off their blindfolds?

Comment from Carlos' girl
"Kindness and love should be our aim" is my favorite line of your poem. This is a great topic and well written poem. Some nice rhymes if not a bit unorthodox which suits me fine

Nice mantra. I may adopt it.
Comment from Mary Shifman
If I have interpreted your poem correctly, it is about the current state of things and some of the things we need to do to turn it around. You have good rhyme and meter and clear imagery and hope. Of all the many things this world needs, Hope is one of the most important.

Good mantra.
Comment from Pantygynt
This is a poetic technique akin to that of William McGonagall, rhyme the last syllable regardless of the natural stress requirement or that of metre. You are at the forefront of a revival of interest in this Irish/Scottish poets once reviled as a poet though celebrated as a comedian, although your lines here are thankfully not as long as his were wont to be.
