Why Can'T We Just Get Along

I
       am
       sad
      when
      folks'
     biases
     surface


       Why         
       must
       folks
      deride
     peoples'
     cultural
    variances?

Indiana Shaw Date: 2/16/2020 6:35:00 PM I think we have only seen the tip of this when it comes to others indiscretions . . . Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 2/16/2020 7:22:00 PM Seems to me the iceberg's been around a long time, and that it's not affected much by global warming. Too bad...

Jean Bush Date: 2/3/2020 12:05:00 PM Excellent job in this new form. Too hard for me, however. My brain won't stretch that far. Haha! Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 2/3/2020 7:03:00 PM Oh, Jean... You don't have my permission to write anything negative about Jean Bush! You hear?! LOL. Thanks, Gershon

Jenish Somadas Date: 2/2/2020 11:49:00 PM You did well in the new form Gershon.. Great.. Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 2/3/2020 7:02:00 PM Thank you for your support, Jenish. Best wishes always, Gershon

Panagiota Romios Date: 2/2/2020 11:35:00 AM Love the form. We preach peace and understanding amongst cultures. There is more of it than we think. Despite the outbreaks of terror done by CRAZy people or those wit evil motives. As Americans, we need to laugh more and love each other more.

We just gotta have heart! :) Gershon

Arturo Michael Date: 2/2/2020 6:35:00 AM I guess to feel better of themselves...Nice concept... Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 2/2/2020 1:58:00 PM Thanks, Arturo. Best wishes, Gershon

Heidi Sands Date: 2/1/2020 11:27:00 PM I agree Gershon. Well written :) Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 2/2/2020 1:55:00 PM Thank you so much for your kind words and support, Heidi! :) Gershon

Sandra Adams Date: 2/1/2020 10:59:00 PM I would love the credit but it's Brian Strand's invented form it was one of his recent blog contests. Love that you were inspired to write one in his form after reading mine ... Love this poem as well :) hugs Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 2/2/2020 1:53:00 PM Thanks for letting me know that Brian came up with this ingenious form. Still, you introduced me to it. Thanks again! Best wishes, Gershon

Evelyn Judy Buehler Date: 2/1/2020 10:57:00 PM This is a superb rendition of the form, Gershon. It carries a message that needs to be heard. Very nice! :) Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 2/2/2020 1:34:00 PM Well, thank you, Judy! Credit for the form goes to Brian Strand for coming up with it and Sandra Adams for introducing me to it. Appreciate your support, my friend! Warm wishes, Gershon

John Watt Date: 2/1/2020 9:45:00 PM Preach it, Gershon. More understanding results in peace on earth, one person at a time. Nice use of the form! ~ John Login to Reply John Watt Date: 2/2/2020 7:27:00 PM Gershon, I meant that only to mean "I completely agree" (perhaps "preach it" it is a localized dialect). LOL, you were not preaching, my friend! I'm in total support of your message and your means. Warm regards ~ John Gershon Wolf Date: 2/2/2020 1:22:00 PM Thanks, John. Appreciate your support. Don't mean to preach, though. (Not much of a fan of sermons). Thanks for calling it to my attention! Happy Sunday! Best wishes, Gershon
