Notes About The Poem

- Shadows, Dear Sister And Brother -


Don't keep on judging
You make me sick
Break your brother's spirit
Your hatred is a mockery
A world is surrounded by darkness
It will always drip blood from a new wound
Although it pains ... you can never win
We share ink and love ... not deadly poison
You've fallen deep ... very deep
A shame

Whatever happened to treating others as we wish to be treated. A little kindness goes a long way and I am grateful to you for being a beacon of inspiring light Anne-Lise:). It's sad your words need to be said; you have penned it wonderfully. blessings xo

Hate only breeds hate, sad that it is common in the soup.. I ignore it my friend, it is the best way to deal with it, yet it makes me sad, when my friends get harassed.. You have a beautiful soul and spirit, I wish that small minority would share the beauty in your heart.. Peace and love my friend.. Also those who have fallen, can still be saved.. As we rise, by lifting others...

Anne -Lise, a wonderful write, I have no doubt in whose honour you have written this. PS is a microcosm on our planet, should be a recreation for all, to enjoy and share, and not a a soapbox for criticism and petty grievances. I joined for relaxation but am also getting disenchanted with the negative competitiveness and all this rubbish...Maria xxx

- Over and over again .... injustice and hatred ... I'm so sorry ... "The soup" is a "small society" ... compared to a whole world ... Why can we not have respect for each other's feelings, opinions, or religion? - Many thanks for a fav. and lovely comment, Russel - I appreciate it a lot :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

I too feel the same emotion as Victor.. Why do they have to cause havoc and ruin it for everyone. I have started not to read their work, why give them the gratitude they think they are getting which they are not. They are just showing themselves as fools and the adolescent level of thinking. Thank you for writing your feelings...
