Why Do They Do It

There was a kind old man, filled with good will Writing for him was just his last great thrill Poems wrote for God and love Hawk wasn't he, just a dove But some, with much hatred, wish him to kill!* (c) Demetrios Trifiatis 13 June 2016 10-10-7-7-10 * I have been with the soup since 2012 and have written more than a thousand poems on God, love, peace, justice, compassion and other related subjects. Never had any trouble, however, lately I have been attacked by certain people who accused me of various things. Please, in the name of our Lord, leave me alone! I just wish to keep writing on positive things, filled with love and God's grace.

Anyone who would attack your character, Demetrios, has issues. I'm with Eileen, I will not stand for it if anyone makes you want to leave this community. We need more like you, to say NO to the rumor-spreading and attacks on character. You have many supporters.

I am so sorry to hear this, Demetrious. I agree with the others, Block them. They do not deserve to be able to comment. Just remember That they are a minority trying to stir up trouble. You are loved and appreciated by the majority! Love, Kim

My esteemed poet....if you allow anyone to influence you....to make you think of leaving...I will be very hurt and upset. I will not allow it. Please...stand firm. I am here with you.

Just proves when you want to believe in the inherent good in all people, someone evil proves you wrong. Soon very soon evil ones will be gone. Psalm 37:10,11. Keep going Demetrios you are a peaceful soul!

That is just awful Demetrios. I have been away for a couple days. Keep the Lord in your heart and all will be fine.

- The best part is enjoy others' success - Often it becomes a motivator for me and my own efforts to reach my goals - A man without confidence or internal security lacks the core and filled with hate - it's about surrounding yourself with posive people as far as possible .... - It's about respect for each other, dear friend - It hurts me deeply - hugs // Anne-Lise :(
