Mark Koplin Poet Rhyme

Poem of the Day

What exactly breeds hate...why is it all around us?
I'm always seeing on the news...how others are thrown under the bus.
There has been to much energy spent...always having others to blame.
I wish we could build up...and not just defame.

Poetry is a beautiful platform...where no hatred should be showcased.
There is nothing wrong with writing...about politics, religion or race.
Just be sure to have your facts straight...and don't create more hate.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion...write what you feel and always create.

I wish to believe...that poetry is for certain kindred souls.
Here to share our thoughts and feelings...and watch how things unfold.
I'm sorry for poem of the day...I reacted poorly for all to see.
That's not who I am...or who I want to be.

I didn't have anything nice to say...I shouldn't have said anything at all.
I apologize to all who did read...who am I after all.
No good came from what I chose to type...hateful feelings are hard to budge.
I am so very sorry, please forgive me...who am I to judge.

Politics is definitely a no-no when it comes to poetry simply because we don't all agree, same as religion. Having said all of that, I do believe there are times when saying nothing, says a lot. I liked your poem.
