Heal the World

The world needs a healing from bigotry and bad feelings,
The fear of Nine Eleven in the air, has spread racism
everywhere,
It is not about buildings or religions,
It's about people making ostracizing decisions,
gaining enablers along the way,
affirming it is okay for hate to have a field day,

The world needs a healing
from the caustic feelings
of prejudice towards different
religious groups,
Races and ethnicities,
We need to remember that foreigners
are builders in the countries they inhabit,
We need to be more civilized,
instead of irate and "crabit",
Hate will only make the younger 
generation sicker than having 
the croup,
It will be every parent's nightmare if they fall 
out of the loop,

It all starts at home 
with the negative
comments that parents make,
The world needs to be healed
for betterments sake.

Another well thought out poem, enjoyed this one as well. Deep with the issue, but still you are so right on the healing and where it starts,..p.d.

And perhaps the ones hiding behind their religion will think twice before intentionaly making decisions to hurt the loved ones of the deceased. This world needs a healing and perhaps a cleansing. Excellent write, sorry for getting on a soap box, but good poetry makes one think.
