Life's tests are nothing new
They can destroy
Or strengthen you.
The harshest test can be close to home
Coming from our flesh and bone
Scorn for blood we must resist
Tempting us to react
Words for words
Act for act.
Love for hate
Destroys the cancer
A soft word
Is an answer.

Loaded with emotional clichés, overtly sentimental but lacks substance.
Thanks for the encouragement, I hope you find love.
well I thought these words highlighted
wisdom, in a self reflection accountability
bereft, in our finger pointing modernity
a good write, dear poet
thanks for sharing
(ignore the poisonous noise
don't waste your energy replying
that's the recognition they crave)
Thanks friend.
