Gary Smith Poet Rhyme

Atavistic Attitudes

I heard a story of a land
Where tolerance was all,
As one they lived together
Whatever creed or call.

Homophobia and misogyny
Xenophobia and distrust,
Those atavistic attitudes
Were crumbled into dust.

Of course 'tis but a fairy tale
But that it could be,
This world would be a pleasant land,
Where empathy runs free.
