May Love Forever Burn Brightly

Friendships are made, friendships are broken But the friendships here on the site Are as strong as any that have ever existed Unencumbered by outside influences They thrive in an atmosphere of a common language That of love, compassion, and joy In the knowledge there are still loving souls out there Amid the turmoil that exists in the world Wars have been fought since the beginning of time They have always been part of the human condition This desire to be king of the hill Starts early on with childhood interaction Bullies trying to prove their superiority by strength But their strength is usually only physical There is also a strength of character Which the so-called meek of the earth possess That is stronger than physical strength Strength of character is the strength I describe Those that possess it often go on to great success If their fire within is allowed to burn brightly So let the friendships here on this site Burn brightly with the love of the written word The words in rhyme that communicate A love of our fellow inhabitants Of this wonderful site and this wonderful world We call Earth!

This is a really lovely poem and yeah "May love forever burn brightly" I wonder when such a day shall come when a rich might accept that he and his servant are equal, when a white man accepts that he and a black person are brothers, when people might differ on religion but they all have one thing is common, the love, and upon looking at the condition of the world, such a time is never going to come, not atleast in Earth, for everyone wants to be better than one another, good luck
