Shirley Long's Blog
 I love writing Poetry mostly Contemporary Poetry, it gives me a great feeling to be able to express myself in words and to know that these words are not only relating to some of the things that I've been through or is perhaps going through now but others can relate to some of my poetry. My Contemporary Poetry expresses the way in which Our Society handles the problems or situations in their lives that we are Presently Going Through.
I can also relate to Poets of Yesterday, such as Langston Hughes, and Edgar Allen Poe. I love to read their poetry. I try to speak for every circumstance that is being faced in our daily lives, the hurt, happiness, pain, faith, joy, dissapointments that most of us is faced with
everyday. My interests also include song-writing, I enjoy writing Pop, R&B, Country And Western, Soul,
Blues, Love songs, etc. I also write Articles on almost
any subject. These are just a few of my passions.
My hobbies are reading, writing, listening to all types of music, Cooking, and dancing. I hope my journey here
at Poetry Soup be a very enjoyable one and I wish
much success to everyone here.

Why Are People So Mean To Each Other

Have you ever wondered why do people treat each other so bad? Sometimes
it can be for little or no reason at all. I have observed this bad behavior
coming from people majority of my lifetime. I can remember early on when
I was just a child how mean children can be to each other sometimes.
If a child wasn't the same complexion or didn't look as pretty as the others,
the children would sometimes igonore or wouldn't even play with these kids.
I used to feel so bad for them and go play with those who were turned away
or mistreated anyway. This to mean is a form of abuse and should be noticed
more closely than ever. Sometimes abuse starts at an early age but it so often
goes unnoticed by some parents, teachers, and day-care workers.
We should all pay more closely attention to the way in which our children are
relating to one another. Like for instance, in a family, check out which children
favor who most and which ones are the least favorite amongst them.
This is very important because it is forming a child's character right now as
he or she is a child and growing up in their home within their family care.
We as parents have a responsibility to ask questions, find out why such a thing
is going on, why one child is partial to another. If we all start to notice the little
small things that can later on in life leads to bigger problems in a child's life
if it isn't straitened out or talked about right then and now.
We should all try to teach our children to "Love One Another" no matter how
the other person looks, or talks. Try to explain to them that God loves us all
and each individual is unique in his or her own way. Do not stand by and let
this type of behavior manifest because it can bring on hatred or even resentfuliness
within the person or child who is suffering from this type of abuse.
We all are responsible for rearing and instilling within our children the values that
will help make them a more better and responsible individual to themselves, others,
and society. We need a strong generation, one who is filled with love, joy, peace
and God's princples within their lives, this will help make a much better tommorrow,
and a stronger America! Let march our children on to victory and honor.
