I and the Other On the Anniversary of Victory In Europe Day

I and the Other Sadly since the dawn of humans there has been the I and the Other. Indifference at best and hatred at worst, times primitive or advanced, Dragging a child of another tribe away from the parents in complete Indifference or hatred, to today's multifarious actions and reactions, From bombing by air to a bomb on planes, or ignoring the plight of Other humans on this planet. Take your pick on the work to do on the I and the Other............................................................................... ........................................................................................................ ....................................................................................................... ....................................................................................................... ...................................................................................................... ..................................................................................................... Did you need more lines, or hopefully fewer hatreds or indifferences to complete? Past, present and future until those from space attack, a chemo-biological attack rap? The only hope is Hope itself. We are better educated only if morality does not moulder. If there is no hope then what is the point of writing any poetry even as bad as this?

A pleasure to read your poetry today Peter. I will try to come back later this week to read more. I have a spring cold and not up to reading for too long. Have a wonderful week. Love, Carol
