People Are People

Why would you hurt someone's son? Can't you fathom having one? Though you've probably never been a mother I'm sure you could be someone's brother. And what about the girl you hurt because you liked her little skirt What did she ever do to you, why do you stammer, is it not true? Yes our skin may not be the same, but why should that make me the one to blame?. Our beliefs may be like night and day, but to a God do we not both pray? Please think of me as you do yourself, I'm not something placed upon a shelf. I'm a person just like you who breaths and eats and feels too.

Half this week has sped by and I have enjoyed reading many poems. Just have to love the diversity of the poets here even in the contests. I am so happy to have been able to read your poetry today Candice. Have a wonderful day and may you find inspiration to write more along the way. Love, Carol
