Glass Houses

Let he who is with out sin cast the first stone A mother is worthless, because she lives alone A young man is branded, because a name of a street Sneering of food banks, and the need to eat Just hate him because of his love of a man Leer at the beggar, who earns what he can Twisting of young minds, with religious belief Or instilling hatred, with patriotic, grinding teeth Blame the junkie because of choices that were made Ridicule the old as their looks start to fade Show disdain as they pour on to our shores Forget how we stole, what was theirs is now yours Have hatred for the man who cant pay his rent Scorn on the bum who's youth was misspent Question a man because of the colour of his skin Remove hospital care, till the fat man gets thin Don't question my values till you analyse your own, for Let he who is with out sin cast the first stone

Neil,,,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
