Those Who Irk Poetry Contest N/A

Hypocrisy is to claim to know and follow certain beliefs but to behave in a way that counteracts those beliefs. Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar.

Let he who is without fault throw the first stone—Jesus Holy Christ

Those who make ethnic boxes on forms we must check. Who of those, which are Iranian/Mexican, oh heck. Irk! It's insanity, those who think Jesus loves them most. Long live humanity—Armenia was the first Christian host! There are those who use Christianity to end their rant. They use it only to put forth their political slant. Those who blame the government and stir up a fuss. Weren’t they taught early on the government is us? Those who say they're sorry but show no remorse. Then do the same things while they ride their high horse.

And to think I might have missed this gem if I hadn't read the Featured Poems this week! Very well-stated my friend Anaya. :)

I love this poem! It sounds like you think the same way that I do. Maybe one day…

...Maybe one day we can all find a way to stand together with a common cause and not just have two sets of views, because what do you get? Put it in reverse and you get--This: We still stand here stuck with two points of view! Thanks Mark

Let us be more open minded and cosmopolitan, and learn from one another, rather than disparaging each other. Robert

Let's Robert, let's be, in the mist of all of this...more understanding and have more light than heat!

The DNA of many Americans confirm we are indeed a melting pot, especially those whose ancestors arrived in the 1600s when white women were few and far between. But God's instruction to, "multiply and replenish the earth" has resulted in global diversity. Enjoyed!

A belated thank you, I believe there is only one race, the human race with many variations, (consensus of anthropologists these days), Rico I am honored you enjoyed!
