Lin Lane Poet Rhyme

Spats in Opposition

If he who does not know kept silent, discord would cease.
                                                           ~ Socrates


Squabbling with words; spats in opposition
can bring about discord and suspicion
Christians should be able to live in harmony 
or their accord and union will atrophy

What kind of world must humans think to mold
in bringing warmth and not a chilling cold
fashioning traits with kind words of diction
not spawning hurtful thoughts, causing friction

Antagonism unfolds to reveal hostility
ruining mutual trust and tranquility
With staunch optimism,  I faithfully pray
that no chasm of rancor will whorl my way

For as long as the risen sun casts mornings in glory
we will not bind our souls with fear and worry
Each night a profusion of stars shines from above
I pray one day we will all share brotherly love

*My head is not buried in the sand, and I don't wear rose-colored 
glasses, but I'd rather have positive thoughts than negative ones 
about our tomorrows.

Mike Gentile July 11, 2024 at 2:07 PM :in, I would rather try to stay positive as well, it get harder and harder! I can't understand the great need for power, control and hate and hostility! Just be a lover!! I do fear for my future and the future of all! Great write!! Lin Lane July 11, 2024 at 2:35 PM Thanks for your thoughts, Mike. I worry for our children and theirs.

Kim Rodrigues July 11, 2024 at 12:07 PM There will be no positives if we don’t work at it. Each person must do their part. Hugs ~ Kim Lin Lane July 11, 2024 at 12:35 PM That's a big problem, Kim. Most people have the 'Let George do it' attitude. Thanks for reading and leaving a comment. Hugs to you, too.
