A Musing on the Times

I listen to anger people with signs yelling to be heard all in a line reason has left only hate remains nothing has changed except dumber brains you hate for what and don't even know you go to your meetings mostly for show with voice you yell I can hear instead of wisdom I hear only fear so please go away with your thoughts so blind my days hard enough without you and your sign Christ rode on a donkey you come with a gun turn the other cheek before your life is done next time you come bring reasonable thought something I know you've never been taught goodbye to you and your evil friends I pray your anger comes to an end we've seen this before when reason left town you've opened the door to nothing but war put down your sign take a place at the table give up your hate if you're capable or able

Well said…reason has left. Anger and violence instead. Reason hears each other out.

So true is so many parts of the world.. so much hate for one another out there, not just for colour or gender, of if someone is an immigrant, but even politics and sport these days.. Great poem Frederic..

Dear Fredric, What an excellent reflection on the pervading anger and lack of reason today. Through powerful imagery and heartfelt words, you convey the frustration and despair felt amidst the chaos of division and hatred. Your call for reason and empathy is crucial for dialogue and understanding in resolving conflicts. It is a very thought-provoking piece that serves the need for compassion and unity in these challenging times. - Blessings, Daniel
