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.....

Being full-blooded Native American with VERY dark skin I have personally had to endure racism living in the deep south. Great write. I enjoyed reading your material this morning. Have a wonderful day! Scarlett

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
