A Belief In Us

Fragile humanity. Haunted by a world of divisive 'isms' and phobia, Struggling to find a voice, aching to live. The gentle embrace of a child. Sweet hope takes wing.
*'isms' - things like racism, sexism, consumerism, cannibalism... the list can be extensive. 2.12.2016

This is a great poem, Leileah. As a race, as groups, and as individuals, I think we are all haunted to some extent.

Thank you very much Doug. We are indeed haunted, but thank goodness for hope!

Humanity could sometimes be "fragile" mentally and emotionally and decisions may often lead to phobias. Embracing the mind of a child, simply gives hope. You caused much to be pictured in this short poem.
