Heidi Sands Poet Rhyme

Hatred

These are the days when hatred rules
False accusations are made by fools
People are afraid to speak their mind
In fear of the backlash they will find

These are very sad times that we face
When reality is, hatred rules this place
Banks of fog are blocking people’s sight
To facts staring at them, wrong vs. right

These are the days we must get beyond
It’s not going to be easy, no magic wand
We must do best to retain morals and good
For the fog to lift, to be where we should

There really is a light shining for everyone
Joy and equality following the path of the sun
Let’s open our hearts one day at a time
Let’s think about all these words in this rhyme

Heidi Sands

Carolyn Devonshire January 20, 2019 at 1:42 PM It's refreshing to read an uplifting poem now, Heidi. The turmoil in Washington is taking its toll and dreary winter days don't help. I try to believe there is good in everyone and pray for the best outcomes. It's not easy now but your poem helps. Hugs, Carolyn Heidi Sands January 20, 2019 at 1:46 PM I am happy to hear that Carolyn. You are right, it's taking a toll on us. Thank you for your kind comment :)
