How hard to understand others even when we listen. It seems that to really understand we must undergo the same experiences. A most wonderful write.

יד ביד yad beyad-Hand in Hand
MLHnow said:
To The 6,000,000 Jewish deaths in the Holocaust’
I wrote this while doing my nieces husband’s genealogy and discovered many Holocaust victims. I wrote this for them
History Leaves scars on the soul
We must link our hands in memory
With the hands without justice
ground now to dust
There is no mystery in history
Where inhumanity hasn\'t walked
Breaking the hearts and bones of many
Cruelty and greed have reaped plenty
Our hands are not tied
Or unable to wipe away the tears
Accumulating through the years
It’s through fear and scapegoating others
That works it’s way into separatist pride
And delivers death blows that hide
Behind conspiracy theories
white washed truth and seeing few as brother
Promoting division and a reality revision
That allows hate and intolerance to reside

I hope one day, before my poetic journey is over
I write something, anywhere near
as profound
as what you\'ve just produced..
\' I am complicit too And by linking rancor to combat hate Our idealistic starry eyed view Of righteousness will segregate us Truth will not prevail without trust. Trust and grace must go hand in hand For the truth to seed and water barren land.\'
a sobering read and I totally agree
simply, Brilliant!
(worth the wait, dear Poet)

America is Ready

You need to spend some time getting to know how the layout tools work for your pieces. Best way is to study the page and try out a few edits before you hit the publish button.
America has a good few social diseases around hypocrisy. Hardly an idyll of democratic rights when some citizens are born more equal than others and has a police force that likes to keep it that way.

I really don’t know why my poems here decide their own word format!
The words never stay put in the lines that I arrange them in!

March with Me
dusk arising said:
Do not destroy the symbols of your oppression - the slavers statues etc - stand all the prouder that the world sees the oppression you have, and continue to overcome.
Don\'t destroy the symbols of proof which hang heavily around the shoulders of others conscience.
With you.

I like some of the words you made up here:
Those who are otherized, marginalized, victimized,
trivialized theologized, fictionalized,
disfranchised,criminalized, penalized, capitalized
and propagandized
I may steal a couple of them!

When I was about 13, I imagined composing a great epic poem cataloging all the wrongs and exploitations and deprivations committed by humankind on fellow humans, the flora and fauna of the earth, and on Nature herself, and inspiring humanity to open its eyes atone for it all! It was about 1967. I never did complete my imagined epic, but you\'ve come close to what I had envisioned, at least for the USA. Bravo!

I love this as I was reading and thinking of the faulse shepherds filling souls with slop. But hey I lived it about the fake news too! The change has to come within .

I thought you did the line thing on purpose. If you look closely it looks like a figure eight. The symbol for unity. Well written in any case.

Me too! I have written way too many poems for peace and justice. I also write too many political poems lately! MLH
P.S I cannot figure out why all my lines go astray when poem gets published?

Syd said:
Wow! I was just about to say that this poem should be written on placards or something (although it is quite long, but you get the picture)
The following lines are brilliant;
\" All the while loading us up to be electorally ill-advised for the basis of these legislated lies\"
\"Packing the pistol
As a bolt-action reaction to their gainful inaction or be prepared to hear\"
You are a great writer and I wholeheartedly agree with your views. I\'m from England....Old England where thankfully gun laws are more strict.
Take care - Syd
