2019

From Plymouth Rock to the Golden Gate
Old World religions have fostered hate
With no "brother" fuss
Just "them against us"
And still no sign their hate will abate

G'day Rico … religions, sects, and cults don't appear to practice what they preach. Believing in God is different altogether - thanks again Rico - Lindsay

REALLY different as Christians, Jews, and Muslims continue to slaughter each other for daring to believe in the same god - but, like children, from different perspectives! Aloha! Rico

It's refreshing to find a dash of pessimism among all the poems about the fresh start of a new year, Rico. Although we all hope that things will improve, I think your poem hits closer to the truth. Still, best wishes to you for a happy new year - you never know how things will turn out...

Sadly, you will still need to watch your back! Aloha! Rico
