A most excellent entry for the chain rhyme contest. It clearly gives your thoughts on this important topic without becoming preachy or political. The rhyming is correct and it flows well together. Best of wishes. I believe this piece is truly a winner!

    Hello Friend,
    I am incredibly honored by your exceptional rating and thoughtful review. I love attempting new formats - even restrictive ones, and I have no idea why! I know it has something to do with the challenge of presenting a message within prescribed parameters...
    I am so pleased that my words are not "preachy or political;" I truly attempted to avoid that...which is why I must have edited this piece at least thirty times before I posted it!
    So pleased my words resonated with you...
    Thank you again!

Excellent. A real wakeup call. Unfortunately, we never learn from the past so we are doomed to repeat the errors. In the middle east as soon as one war ends another begins.

This chain poem, For Humanity's Sake, has the proper framing and asks the bleeding question of why we let 'elected' officials make decisions that go one-hundred-eighty degrees from the direction we really want.

This deserves much more stars than are available. But one giant star for the work is to the core in presence and body. I am thankful for you allowing me this read and review. It is a blessing.

Profound sentiments eloquently presented in a chain poem. Hatred has no place in the world. We are all linked to one another as part of the human race. It's time to show a little humanity and stop the tide of profanity and insanity. Well done!

    Oh my goodness, June!
    I am incredibly honored by your exceptional rating and review. I have never attempted a Chain poem. I thought it would be a welcomed challenge - especially since it requires the poet to rhyme - and that is not my strong suite! I loved playing with the words and rhyme in my attempt to get my message across to the reader.
    So very pleased my words resonated with you!
    Thank you again!

The message in this poem goes straight to the heart. I like the montage of pictures. People hate because it is easier than love. I like the motto of this poem a lot. Good luck in the contest and thank you for sharing.
