Destroying the Path of Hate Before It's Too Late

Wouldn't it be really great Turning everybody's hate Into something good and fair In our hearts to show we care If all the power was reversed Into good vibes from the worst Then the world would turn into A kinder place for me and you Why hatred and prejudice Live in people who exist On this earth is quite a wonder It just makes us all go under A big cloud of hurt and pain I just feel so ashamed How nothing has changed in years To get past all of the fears Some folks live with everyday We all need to find a way To stop this wrong right in its tracks Moving forward, never back So all people can be free As were making history Allowing peace in every spot Of this land, it is a start To stomp out the bitterness Receive good will and gentle bliss Learning to be compassionate It would be a gracious fit Easing the hearts of those wronged If badness left, love came along

Wouldn't it be great if we managed to erase hate and bring in love instead! Looks impossible, but surely we can't give up trying to make things better. Congrats on your win, Robin. // paul

You covered a lot of ground, Robin. Yes it would be so wonderful to live in a world like that. We must give the best that we have to offer and hope that it can be an inspiration to others. Very well done my friend..... Robert.

Great message in your poem, Robin. The way you are always doing couplets, I think of you as a good will rapper lady!!! I think you could go on and on rhyming lines of inspiration.
