Notes About The Poem

we all can see sinners casting stones so to speak 

on those that pretend to be all caring about the planet 

yet their humility lacks general understanding of humanity

where the basic rights of life are denied  

Inspired By a Great Saint

The truth suffers in the consequence of its betrayal
the afflictions of this present world cannot come unforeseen
Against them all let sound reason do battle
let no imperial threats scare you
do not be grieved at the laughter and mockery of your intimates
nor at the condemnation of those who pretend to care for you
and who put forward, as their most attractive bait to deceive 
under a pretence of giving good advice 
we all know when our Lord drew upon the sand Mercy spoke
for those of us no longer blind we hope and pray
that our children are gifted with a better future
