What I most enjoy about this piece is its universality. After reading everyone will take away a different interpretation of the motif. Little lies soon turn into big lies and also are so very well hidden by then, they are not even known as such.

A superb entry into this contest and I wish you great luck with the voters. :))

I apologize for lack of a six, mystery poet. If this doesn't win the contest, I will protest. This is such a deep and insightful poem of our current situation and the lies that have held the hearts of our young for way too long. Just as you said, the hateful heart grows cold and eventually stops pumping blood, then dies. There's nothing that will resuscitate a dead heart.
Sending you my best today as always, and best wishes for the contest. Superb offering.

Great entry! I really like the cadence present here! I also like the message. It's strikingly optimistic and powerful--almost warning. I like the atmosphere created by this entry. Good luck in the contest and thank you for sharing.

A very well-written poem and excellent use of the required words. Each day we are shaping our future in the things we do and say. It depends on us what the future may become.

You nailed it using fire, cold etc.
It is remarkable done in addressing what the young are learning in today's world and unlearning what has been poison cannot be undone.
Good luck in the contest.

What a powerful reminder you have offered in the form of a poem! The message is clear - young minds can only absorb what they see. And what they see now is not only confusing, but disheartening. The illustration of the butterfly being crushed inn the chaosl is really appropriate. Thank you for sharing your honest and empathetic piece.

We are shaping the future through our methods of raising children. Show them violence , they will harbour hatred and rancour. show them truth thwy will grow up wit integrity
You have used all the words given wisely to give a very important message.

A beautifully written work that shows that man will tend to repeat errors, mind you there's a lot of History to overcome, mistakes tend to be habitual. A language rich poem, smooth and using and blending in the given words. Written in tetrametric stanzas and abab rhyming, well done, good luck, blessings, Roy
