Best Tolerance Poems

The word
The idea
The wall that separates
Disguised in honorable robes
Preached to children
"Tolerance" 

Am I to be tolerated?
Just because I am different
Black, white, brown or yellow
Straight or gay
Muslim
A Jew 
Perhaps I am Christian
I am painted with many brushes
A part of humanity's inconsistancies

When you tolerate 
You hold yourself...

TOLERANCE

I have little tolerance for tolerant people.
Those that will endure the corruption of
the truth, the erosion of meaning.  While at
the same time being intolerant of your
opinions, thoughts, and level of tolerance.

There is a quote attributed to Voltaire:
“I disapprove of what you say, but I...

new nation to craft
founding fathers sought to draft
a declaration of independence
document that made sense

Thomas Jefferson sought to free slaves
but was warned not to make waves
five of thirteen colonies
he had to appease

breaking from British rule
ignited a duel
with each colonial delegate
expressing their regret

“If you don’t know the kind of person I am
and I don’t know the kind of person you are
a pattern that others made may prevail in the world
and following the wrong god home we may miss our star.*


Shouts abound, demanding equality
Yet, when push comes to...

Tolerance by itself not a virtue,
Nor is acceptance,
As they generally come with poor eyesight,
No insight,
Are hard of hearing,
And tend to be motivated by fear.

The good news is that,
We still have patience and understanding,
To turn to.

There are abilities that we can call on too,
That can help...

Please hear us I pray....

Tolerance, this word is not used in the bible
The closest I can find is to be non judgemental
To accept those that are  of a different faith
A different skin colour, those that love their own kind
So why so much fighting......

Tolerance, to...

This is not a perfect world, we see things everyday
That makes us take a second look, or makes us turn away
The heart of man has turned to stone, and compassion is not found
We've taken love and friendship, and beat them to the ground
No longer do...

To the question of tolerance, I do so tolerate,
The ignorance of the sighted. not to see the hunger
Of their own brethren.
To the question of tolerance. I do so tolerate,
The ignorance of the wealthy, not to aid the poor.
By extending a helping hand of comforts aid.

Permissiveness grows. 
What was evil's in fashion.

Tolerance for all was once a virtue,
And it was taught by every religion.
First to realize that every culture
Could keep their traditions, still live as one.

Then it was, when tolerance went missing
Sadly there were people within our world.
Who wouldn’t take the time to stop and listen?
When...

LOVE OR TOLERANCE
At first it was Love
She would check you minute to minute
She would make you feel her presence
She would make you feel the warmth of her breath
She never missed your call
Her phone was never busy for you
She checked her what's app
Every two minutes

Is it...

Why is it the supposedly more tolerant
Are the least tolerant around
Can we no longer speak our own minds
Without someone out there shooting us down

Feel free to speak your opinion
I'm more than willing but never forced to listen
That there my friend is your basic right
A freedom...

Tolerance and love is preached…  But,  at what price?
Too often we forget about Jesus’ sacrifice!

His death was because our sin counted against us.
He died on the cross because he truly loves us!

How dare we “cheapen” his work on the cross!
In today’s “political correctness..”...

In this day and age that most of the things
tend to cause many of us to be haughty and callous. 
That we cannot seem to bear with those things
because we simply do not like them.

This includes other people as well. 
An innate in most human...
