CayCay Godwin Poet Acrostic

Humanity

Hostility and hatred are daily, wrongly, sustained and fed.
Unjust and unfair ones create chaotic laws and discrimination.
Multitudes of people ignorantly choose to live from their egos.
Afghanistan armies war to harm others, even their brothers .
Nations of violence make or take our innocent beds.
Individuals daily pray for a comforting spiritual clue
Throughout life, despite erratic dances with fear, and
Yield we would gladly do if love became the rule.

Connie Marcum Wong November 15, 2017 at 1:03 AM Yay! They fixed it CayCay! Thank you Poetry Soup Team! I feel the way you do as your thoughts echo mine CayCay. I hope this excellent poem speaks to many! : )

Mike Hauser November 14, 2017 at 8:40 PM Great job... Very thought provoking! CayCay Godwin November 15, 2017 at 5:40 AM Thank you, Mike. Humanity is thought-provoking even without an Acrostic, isn't it? Pleases me that you found 'substance' in my write. Go in a good way ... CayCay

Andrea Dietrich November 14, 2017 at 7:22 PM wow, you did an amazing job with the theme, Caycay. Is this one already filled? I was writing all the contests I still needed to try and don't even remember seeing this one. OH MY. I hear Joe out front. Don't even have dinner made!!! CayCay Godwin November 15, 2017 at 5:38 AM So glad you found it 'amazing', I couldn't hope for more. Yesterday, when last I looked at John's contest, there was plenty of 'room' for more submissions, don't fret. Now, get in that kitchen and rattle those pots and pans! Love ... CayCay

Jannie Breedt November 14, 2017 at 12:39 PM Hi Cay Cay, thats exactly how I feel. All in a nut shell. I live for people like you. The psychopaths cannot destroy love. I am convalescing from tick bite fever and will inbox you CayCay Godwin November 14, 2017 at 10:25 PM Jannie, why did you want to go and get a tick bite, it is an horrible idea. When? Have you been house bound? What kind of pain? Is there a prescription involved? Oh, I'm glad you related to my poem, it is truly how I feel, also - simplicity is one of my fav words, along with individualism. Feel better and be blessed ... CayCay (I'm so tired that giggles are setting - I will look for your message tomorrow, k?)

Vijay Pandit November 14, 2017 at 11:49 AM Good discourse on humanity--best for a win CayCay! CayCay Godwin November 14, 2017 at 10:26 PM Thank you for your encouraging comments. I appreciate you sharing you response. Blessings ... CayCay

Freddie Robinson Jr. November 14, 2017 at 11:29 AM I agree totally w/Janice. The move from the impure to the pure of heart was cool acrostic journey that this poem took us on, CayCay. Splendid pen touch of tender emotions. Pure poetry, dear. Love and smiles always. CayCay Godwin November 14, 2017 at 11:37 AM So you climbed out of the gutter and came to see me! (I'm just having fun with you.) Your comments are a soothing uplift and I am delighted to have them. Thanks you and Blessings ... CayCay

Janice Canerdy November 14, 2017 at 11:19 AM Great acrostic, CayCay, taking us from the bad and ugly to the good and hopeful! Janice CayCay Godwin November 14, 2017 at 11:38 AM Thank you for saying so, Janice - You are sweet and I appreciate your presence on Soup and here, on my poem page. Blessings ... CayCay
