Arturo Michael Poet Rhyme

Teach Children To Love

At Sunday school 

Don’t break the rules

Sabbath ends on Saturday


Church is out

Devils sprout

In play grounds children stray


Void of God

A new Dollar Lord

They learn the prayers of hate


Emotional bullets

Shatter innocent hearts

Sad days of school shootings

Cal Bambi The Word Artist July 28, 2019 at 9:40 AM Thanks for commenting on my poem A Sailor's Dream. Cal Bambi. You have a lot of poems and I love the ones I have read so far. God Bless Arturo Michael July 28, 2019 at 9:48 PM Thank you Cal

Gershon Wolf May 7, 2019 at 9:50 AM Those second and third stanzas say it all: The decline of the Church and the ascent of the dollar--a devastating environment for children and the families trying (or not trying) to raise them with values. Nicely done, Arturo! :) gw

Andrea Dietrich April 25, 2019 at 3:22 PM so sad that this happens. Well done, Arturo. Arturo Michael April 25, 2019 at 6:56 PM It's one of those things that disturb me...I wish we would love our children before anything else...

David Smith April 10, 2019 at 4:24 AM Written in right vain to reach out to those who would not normally listen. Impressive. Nothing like poetry that stirs the grey matter. Best regards David in NZ Arturo Michael April 10, 2019 at 6:44 AM Straight talk poetry...Thanks for passing by...All the best David...

Kim Rodrigues April 7, 2019 at 4:35 PM “They learn the prayers of hate” - such a sad statement! Arturo Michael April 9, 2019 at 7:15 PM Sad indeed...what is is until was...All the best Kim

Swetha Vangaveti April 7, 2019 at 12:10 AM Children do what they see. Learning happens through the keyhole of experience. Creating a positive environment around the child will help in their overall development. Superb write. When it comes to children,I easily connect. This one’s in my fave list now. :) Arturo Michael April 9, 2019 at 7:13 PM Thank you Swetha...children are the future....

Vickie Hurtt - Thayer April 6, 2019 at 9:49 AM T O U C H E D me to the core. Very well versed, Arturo. So sad for families today to deal with this. I agree with Eve, most of the time children learn violence from their parents and the way they react to violence. Arturo Michael April 6, 2019 at 12:46 PM Glad you liked it...Always a pleasure to hear from you and read you too...All the best...

Eve Roper April 5, 2019 at 11:55 PM Very powerful words, Arturo, it is not right for our children to live in fear. Grown-ups teach not realizing they are teaching their children how to hate, belittle, and how to settle a fear... So they protect themselves the best they know how. Arturo Michael April 6, 2019 at 12:47 PM I believe that too..."the best they know how" and even can...

Tom Cunningham April 5, 2019 at 2:51 PM So sad it's come to this, years ago you never heard of these things happening yet every now and again its headlines and families left grieving. Well written Arturo. Tom. Arturo Michael April 5, 2019 at 6:26 PM World's changing...All subjects should include love...Statutes and Laws of LOVE...

Caren Krutsinger April 5, 2019 at 2:51 PM "Void of God A new Dollar Lord They learn the prayers of hate" Nice. Our playground would be a lot safer if we did what New Zealand did; just say a "coward" and give them no extra press at all for shooting people. Arturo Michael April 5, 2019 at 6:23 PM Hi Caren...Thank for passing by...We need to make LOVE a law...

Charlie Smith April 5, 2019 at 9:21 AM Excellent observations Arturo, well done... Arturo Michael April 5, 2019 at 11:21 AM In the play ground of life we must play...it's dangerous...
