Hi
"Happy Halloween."
This is an excellent written poem. I really enjoyed this poem and its strong message.
I really like these two lines.....
With conviction, we must stand and despise
malignant actions pregnant with dark lies ~
great job

Comment from Gloria ....
A superb chain poem, Diane. So true that some truth has to return to public discourse, so people can trust each other again. But sadly some leaders are covering up their own greed with lies.
A superb poem and excellent social commentary.
Good luck to you in the booth. :)

"For Humanity's Sake", is an extremely well-written and thought-provoking piece. This talented poet's work was a pleasure to both read and review. To me, this is a six, but I only have fives left. I look forward to seeing your next post.

KT,
A masterful poem with a powerful message. Oh, if we could all just get along. The rhyming is excellent and the artwork exactly matches the theme and the concluding thought expressed in the last line - in order to save our humanity...
All the best in the contest,
Eugene

Comment from royowen
I really don't see much hope for humanity, bad principles, cruelty, greed, hatred, unforgiveness, have been man's legacy to each other, the only hope I see is to adopt a readiness to forgive, not to see colour, let bias and prejudice drop. But I believe only invidual swill take it onboard. A beautifully written chain rhyming poem in pentametric quatrains, articulate, smooth, and expressive aaba verses, well done Diane, blessings. Roy

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
Your words are profound. We are a mixture of different cultures and should welcome each with open arms. The things we could learn from one another, and the joy in being friends with each of them would turn our world and lives around if we were only allowed to do so. Politics and religion get in the way though. So sad. Well done this is a wonderful contest entry. Good luck! :) Sandra xx

Good contest entry! I've read a few of these now and have become somewhat familiar with the parameters of the form which (to the best of my discernment) you've followed very well. Sad state in our world today--you address that without being preachy.
