Notes About The Poem

The price of tolerance

My heart shatters for all
the injustice I see in the world,
what hope do we have for mankind
if it's so difficult to get along?

Mankind has always lived life WRONG. Why can we not change the words to that WRONG SONG? Now with AI, to me, all is worse, but I refuse to dwell on it or knowingly apply it to my life though I'm aware it is applying my life to its uses. Bad Sci Fi, bad people, but there are some wonderful individuals, too, they are just quieter, don't you think? I enjoyed the read; it lit a match under me!

The best thing we can do is try to make life more beautiful and harmonious around us. If more people do that, the world will have to be a better place ~
