Dear heaven, what's it bound to take Til bones and hearts no longer break? We're far beyond the realm of years ... To dry the stains from hatred's tears. It feels so wrong - so dark and strange That we can't seem to make a change And show through high ideals, thereof We're all deserved respect and love ... We're ALL deserved ...

So appropriate to the current situation in our nation. Will things really change in November after the election??? Is hatred becoming ingrained in politics? Very well said, Gregory. Please check your Soup Mail

You are so right, Greg. Why does sadness grip us without our permission? You write lovely poetry!

Good thoughts, Greg. It will take God's hand to stop the hatred in this world.
