Lin Lane Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Discord Ruins Harmony

Squabbling with words; spats in opposition
can bring about discord and suspicion
Christians should be able to live in harmony 
or their accord and union will atrophy

What kind of world must humans think to mold
in bringing warmth and not a chilling cold
fashioning traits with kind words of diction
not spawning hurtful thoughts, causing friction

Antagonism unfolds to reveal hostility
ruining mutual trust and tranquility
With staunch optimism,  I faithfully pray
that no chasm of rancor will whorl my way

For as long as the risen sun casts mornings in glory
we will not bind our souls with fear and worry
Each night a profusion of stars shine from above
I pray one day we will all share brotherly love.
