In an ideal world, everyone would be real.
Our prejudices against others will vanish.
Often, we judge by face rather than genteel.
From the apex of your ear, it will banish.
How long can you hate yourself for flaws you hide?
You may dress as you wish, despite what others think.
Study the man's personality rather than his sight side.
Don't be afraid of your mood; love is a priceless wink.
Our curriculum should italicize inner growth.
Will your kid learn if you tutor him the same way?
Do you talk smack on people's attire and clothes?
Children learn idioms by following us every day.
In auspicious skimming over the clear sea.
the ferocious radiance of that exuberance.
Who of the offspring's souls is most guilty?
is vain, but gives life to the air of protuberance!

I want to apologize to anyone who looked in on a poem I posted last night titled “Erasing every trace”. I began the poem with a stanza from an old childhood poem that when attempting to italicize it, I inadvertently placed an incorrect symbol at the end of the last line which in turn did not allow the poem I wrote that was inspired by the verse to show.
The verse:
“Star light, star bright,
The first star I see tonight;
I wish I may, I wish I might,
Have the wish I wish tonight”
Was a verse from the 19th-century English poem by Jane Taylor, "The Star".
I apologize for any concern this may have caused. I have since deleted the post.
To those who commented on the poem I have already sent PM’s to each of you explaining this
Thank you for understanding,
Chris

I CURSE HER UNIVERSE!
Uh-oh! She’s not going to like me
The lady as fair as any flower
She’s going to treat me with an iron hand
Because the wields holds all the power
Don’t you hate *****es like that?
Lascivious Ladies whose sole concern is control
A hand of iron, a heart of steel
I know just how she will view me
Just “one of them”
And she uses the term “them”
As if to italicize the fact that she is not one of “them”
But, according to her,
I will be an honorary member of “them”
You know
Not like her
We, or her “them,” live in a different universe than her
A galaxy vs. a constellation
She’s glowing like a fiery orb whose orbit is as yet undetermined
So I need seek shelter with expediency
Because I’m certain part of her comet will strike me
I will be the focus of negativity in her universe
Because rest assured, she will not like me
