Great message in your poem! I wonder if the school curriculum could actually show some practical ways that illustrate "loving one's neighbor." I always wished that schools would require community service so that kids would know it's not about themselves. Well done Rime Tesera!

In this fallen world, the Love of God is the only thing that rewrites the script and teaches us to love. A lovely poem in this subject matter. Sending you my best today as always,

I completely agree with you Roy. Children just need to be taught how to love and accept love, all that other stuff is the chaff to be blown away by the wind, or cast into the fire.

Hi, Roy.
Your poem is relevant, especially today where there is so much hatred and resentment in the world.
Your unique phrasing is stellar: 'hate's gut,' 'hate's garden grow,' 'hates biased mark.'
Your author's notes are very helpful. (They have a couple of extra characters to fix).
Great inspiration, Roy
Blessings and good luck,
Cindy

A very well crafted poem. Like you mentioned in your notes, not all will agree. I wish love of God was all we need to learn, but we do not live in a Godly word. It is a shame.

Good stuff.

The poem is excellent! The author's words made me think of how we
are all equal! I feel if we get that fact right we can be at peace. For me
this poem implies my previous sentence. Thank you for the author notes -
they speak volumes and compliment the words of this poem. I liked the final stanza especially the 3rd line! Have a great weekend!....Maria
