Do Not Let It In

This brewing hatred has no place
In this beautiful creation
Where all of us are equal
Everyone is given free will
Which means we can choose
To respect and offer good things
Without excuses in this choice
No matter what less we may have
In spirit we are born to love
Even with all differences
Hatred leaves when we shut the door
With strict refusal to enter

Krish Radhakrishna Date: 8/30/2020 4:32:00 AM Hatred burns the host more than the one who is the recipient of it! Forget and forgive is very much for that reason! This does not mean we should forgive the criminals and the marauding thieves who walk the society! Well said! A great poem!

Quoth Theraven Date: 8/28/2020 10:02:00 PM Heidi, 'Without excuses in this choice No matter what less we may have'. Well said. -Richard Login to Reply Quoth Theraven Date: 8/29/2020 12:00:00 PM I wish the same for you this fine Saturday Heidi. I'll be working around the house, listening to fine music 'Keith Whitley - Don't Close Your Eyes' at this instant. When the sun reaches it's zenith I'll be stretched out on the couch, plain giving up on those chores. Of course reading some fine poetry. A well deserved fate. -Richard Heidi Sands Date: 8/29/2020 6:08:00 AM Thank you Richard. I hope you are having a nice day today and all is well :)
