We Together

We together can change the way
our moral tendencies do stray.
Yet we build walls round our estate
and over parapets berate
the way that others go to pray.

Nation on nation joins the fray
some indignation to repay.
What harmony we could create;
we together.

Sweet dreams the children have who play
oblivious that they one day
will fight a war of unjust hate
their fathers wish to propagate.
It is a fate we could allay
we together.

CayCay Jennings Date: 5/15/2025 7:14:00 PM You commented on my poem To Fly yesterday and I don't recall crossing paths before. I've been a souper since 2015 but disappered 4-22 until 2-25 so maybe we have/maybe we haven't, either way it feels like the 1st time I've read you and I'm impressed. Great job with the form and content emotion. I'm off to read more of you ...

Everyone on Soup is so encouraging, thank you again for reading my stuff

Paula Goldsmith Date: 5/15/2025 11:05:00 AM What a powerful write you have here. Today, people are into the "I and Me" word. We need to get back to the "We Together" word. Have a blessed day writing away......... Login to Reply Terry Miller Date: 5/16/2025 1:47:00 AM Thank you so much Paula
