Behind the Trouble

Who is behind the trouble?
      Is it the Catholics, the Jews, the Chinese
        or a combination 
            of all three?
Well, it seems that people 
      form deep seated hatreds
And you know what?
    None of us are
  free from it 
I'm going to synagoguenext
   Yom Kippur
         despite my doubts.....

Andrea Dietrich Date: 5/5/2010 4:23:00 PM Matt, it was my poem "three things incredible" maybe you remarked on it? I don't recall. That covers the three to four decades since after my 14th year on earth. So what inspired THIS little poem of yours here? And when you say a combination of all three, what is the third in addition to the JEws and the Cathollics? very interesting read,matt. LUv, andrea Login to Reply
