   Rivers flow as the Milky Way
   Broken clouds, the rain pouring down from skies
   Stop protecting your opinions
   Occasionally we are punished
   for something we have never done
   Obvious discrimination without a filter
   nothing is excluded

   Wandering through many hundreds of hymns
   as tides that sweep through pulsating veins

   The wise person does not associate with liars
   Disappointments will perhaps diminish over time
   obviously an ignorant inference
   No one dreams,
   if the eye never sleeps
   The depth of the feeling
   continued in the rainy weather

This profound verse captivates the reader's mind with its potent imagery and profound insights, Anne-Lise. Its impactful lines reverberate within me, particularly the notion that at times, we face unwarranted repercussions for deeds never committed. It astutely sheds light on the blatant discrimination that pervades our society, sparing no one from its unjust effects.

Anne-Lise, there's not much worse than subjection to ignorance and discrimination. When you say, "stop protecting your opinions," I am thinking that it is the offending party who cannot open up to their error in thinking. We see that more and more today unfortunately. I hope you are well and appreciate that you wrote about this. There's a lot of reflection that should occur before we act. TY!!
