Real Solid Ground

I'm trying to find a way to confront ignorance and hatred that will have some real impact. So far everything I've tried gets diverted into confusion and madness. There's no solid ground. We're all standing in quicksand. We spout our pronouncements as we keep sinking deeper. I'm searching for those who want to build bridges. I don't care what you look like. I don't care how much money you make. All I want is to join hands with someone who sees, as I do, that the world's in deep danger. And I'm hoping that we, all together, can turn this around. I'm hoping that we, together, can start building real solid ground.

Hi Stanfield, I want to take this opportunity to wish you well and encourage you to keep on writing, even if we only get a small group of readers eventually. I really believe we have an audience in mind who wants to hear these issues addressed, but will take time to grow. Blessings and best regards

Hi Lasaad, Thank you for your kind words. I assure you that I will keep writing. I'm currently working on a novel with much the same theme as this poem. And I feel, as you do, that there is an audience out there somewhere for our message. All the best... later... Stan
