Love And Let Live

Racism, ageism, sexism, name it!
              If there was tech-ism, we’d have to game it
Why should the pattern of reckless decision
                      Further a hate based on sex or religion

Why not let love and let live be your  “ism”
         Spreading its beauty like light through a prism
Loveism, likeism, careism, make it!
               After a while, you would not have to fake it

What if our would had no isms at all
            Changing the course of our strange little ball
Love and let live and leave others alone
                   Foster the greatest true love ever known

outstanding, Mike! I agree...too many 'isms' that only serve to create disharmony. How did we get this way? Thought provoking and a worthy read!

Too many people suffer from hateism. Sad but true. I like your message Mike

Love and respect are the only thing that mankind needs to make it a better world, if everyone would learn to do that it would be a wonderful world. Enjoy your weekend Mike. Tom
