Poem
As we step into a new year…stepping out of the year just passed… this wish goes out to every person in the world: May this new year…be a little better than the last. Our hearts go out to everyone still suffering from a natural disaster… a tornado, a flood, a hurricane…earthquake… but this poem is dedicated to those suffering from unnatural disasters the kind only human hate can make. To those affected by our hate and it’s offshoots…abuse and prejudice and war… I hope your life this year is a little better than it was the year before. You see the people who sow the seeds of hate… that grow into fears and prejudices and wars… know that hatred needs a face…and unfortunately… they have chosen yours….. In spite of this may you step proudly into the new year… knowing from the moment each day starts… you don’t need to change a thing about you… what needs changing is the hate in other’s hearts. And for those of us not directly affected by this evil… no longer can we wait… for it’s not enough to ignore it…we must eradicate the hate I do believe love can overcome hate… I believe it is the only thing that can… So in the future we’ll only have to deal with natural disasters…. not those heartaches caused by man. This road is not an easy one…but what if this year we let it be known… despite the obstacles ahead…more seeds of love are being sown… So with each succeeding New Year’s Day… more and more people will look back at the year just past… and say proudly and with confidence this year was…a little better than the last
