Notes About The Poem

Negative cycles we can either perpetuate or eliminate. The choice is ours.

"Hand me a dead rose from your garden and I'll give you a blooming rose from mine."

~ Artsieladie Quote ♥

Negation of Negative

"Negation Of Negative"

When shown darkness, show the Light.
When shown wrongs, show the right.
When shown a frown, show a smile.
When shown an inch, show a mile.
When shown pain, show healing.
When shown offensive, show appealing.
When shown lost, show found.
When shown silence, show sound.
When shown worthless, show worth.
When shown death, show birth.
When shown ugly, show beauty.
When shown laxness, show duty.
When shown doubt, show faith instead.
When shown lies, show truth unsaid.
When shown selfish, show giving.
When shown death, show living.
When shown fear, show you're brave.
When shown taken, show you gave.
When shown the worst, show your best.
When shown forsaken, show you're blessed.
When shown a vulture, show a dove.
When shown hate, show your Love.

Tom Cunningham June 21, 2018 at 1:25 AM A very interesting thought provoking verse Artsie. Tom. Artsieladie Sharon Donnelly June 21, 2018 at 2:41 AM Thank you, Tom. I tend to write thought provoking lines in the hopes people 'in general' will choose to make better choices not just for themselves but for the benefit of others as well and hoping such will put an improving dent in the 'me world' we live in. Have a happy day. :) ~ Artsie
