Wonder

Its all been said
  flowers bloom and die in their beds
    those who judge others
      scream "search"
        never searching, all so certain
          no wisdom lies in their heads
            extremists march towards the same cross
              aflame in hate
                as if they are all on a date
  hell's fate

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 10/31/2018 12:45:00 PM The Bible teaches "Judge not lest ye be judged" and this is a lesson I try to remember. In the U.S., there are extremists committing hate crimes and they never try to see life from anyone else's perspective. Sad state of affairs and your poem takes the reader to the front lines. Well done, Arthur! Hugs, Carolyn Login to Reply
