Matthew Anish Poet Free verse

To All Poetry Soup Readers

The ugly face of racism and Anti Semitism 
   are rearing up in this land 
The problem is not one we can solve 
   unless we take note of the sense of decency 
within us 
I am no saint 
   yet I believe that 
  I can change and so can you 
out there in the darkness 
This poem goes out to all the readers 
   of poetysoup.com 
Vote anyway you want to 
But you must fight hate within and without 
So pick up your pens 
AND DO IT

Sandra Haight August 14, 2015 at 10:36 AM Your poem touched me, Matthew...such a soul-searching plea to all of us. Thank you so much for your kind, supportive words on my poem, "A Rose Is A Rose," which echos the theme of your poem. 7, Sandra

Poet Destroyer A July 31, 2015 at 5:02 PM This is powerful my friend. I know it is everywhere. The ugly truth about life. I love the powerful message here. One should vote, to make a difference,... sadly Matt, most voting all about who's side we are on... Thank you for the soup mail... LINDA
