Excellent, Diane. This poetry is so strong in it's thought. It is also so timely because our lives are all being poisoned by political influences and hateful rhetoric. I wish you well in the Chain Rhyming contest, my dear friend. Bless you and yours, Bob

Comment from Donka Kristeva
An urgent, and much needed message, and powerful, inspired poetry! If the pen is mightier than the sword, and I believe it is, this poem is also a prayer and a call to awaken sanity.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written chain rhyme poem about humanity. There is a great difference in people that are really in a crisis and people that get paid to act as refugees for a hidden agenda.

Oh for a perfect world. I do beleive that most of mankind are good people and want the best for mankind but there always seems to be an evil minority. It is so heartbreaking. Excellent poem and presentation. Take care. Jen.

Comment from apky
Your wonderful poem reminded me of the one I wrote here yesterday. We should celebrate humanity and accept each life as a gift, precious and coming out of the same Creation or God, where we are born and accept who we are born us, another blossom in the tree of human beings, and we had not done the miracle by ourselves.
Excellent, thanks for sharing.

Comment from Lady Jane
WHOA!!! What a powerful chain rhyme here, Mrs. Diane! The words are powerfully poignant and so vey precisely driven. The verbiage was carefully woven to garner a message of action and immediacy. Absolute perfection with imagery, image, presentation, and content. This is why I granted your chain rhyme a six. It's solid writing with meaningful conviction. Oh how I love that image. Faces of those who get lost in the crowd of humanity!

Hello Janelle!
I am honored by your exceptional rating and complimentary review!
This offering was a love fest of words, form, message, and rhyming. I must have edited it no fewer than thirty times! I've been relegated to an upstairs bedroom yesterday and today, where I have the distinct duty of handing my husband bricks through a window as he completely rebuilds our chimney. Lots of time to read, review, and edit...and handing bricks through the window!
I also loved the image; it is haunting.
Again, so very pleased you enjoyed!

I understand the message of your poem, Diane. but I have to respectfully recuse myself from the "we". the people in this "we" exist on CNN during elections and in our Halls of Higher Learning. 99.9% of the people in the world live and love and don't belong in this club. your poem is intended to be positive, I see that and maybe this is just semantics, but I wanted to share with you................meeshu

Hello meeshu,
Thank you for your excellent rating and thoughtful review.
I don't belong to the club of which I write either, Gary. My intent was to share that collectively, we had better get our act together...for humanity's sake.
Thank you again!

I know that your poem is generalized, and it really is very good, Diane. I just don't like the idea of a few outliers leading the collective. I think 'we' are good and honest people. I know I'm not making a lot of sense, I promise I will take some time away from politics after Tuesday. I mean no offense.......gary

Gary,
You make perfect sense.
No offense taken...ever!
Promise!

it is hard for me to communicate without eye contact. it strange to think there is a generation that has the direct opposite problem.. thanks, Diane.
