We Need Love Of Each Other
Written By Semper Fi Reborn 9/21/07
Why don't dead people or babies,
Ever hate their neighbors?
Why don't they make up rumors,
When asked for favors?
Don't say that, One's an infant,
And the Other's expired.
Because One is pure,
And the Other got tired!
Of the rants and ravings,
Of the hateful souls.
That make you rather die,
Than be born or grow old.
I have the media talking,
March here and march there.
But when the march is done,
Is there love anywhere?
Is there love that comes out,
When the cameras stop?
Was that love,
When I heard a gunshot?
How about when a kid has the means,
To tie a noose?
Or six other kids,
Let there anger loose?
Then twelve people,
Hand a sentence down.
Then tens of thousands,
March on a town.
We say we,
Look for justice,
Yet, is any found?
Don't put your trust in men,
They'll let you down!
Keep your eyes on God,
And prayer in your heart!
And vow that NO Thing,
Can dampen that spark.
We need to love our fellow man!

Absolutely stunning. This is honestly a terrific poem. You are very talented and would make a wonderful writer someday. Your work is brutally honest, mature and powerful. It speaks of the kind of world we live in. I think poetry like this can inspire people to change the way they live, in order to make the world a much better place. This world needs inspiration, and your writing brings it to the table. I'm proud of your work and I'm proud of you for choosing to inspire all the people of the world. I believe the world can change, and though we may not live to see it, there is always hope. We can do anything we put our minds to. Keep your head up and keep writing. I believe in you, and you'll do great things. From one writer to another.

I totally agree. We were talking about that in Government class today. I think that what is the point to "march here and march there" when no one, on both sides, cares for anyone on the other. If you want true peace, then we must as you've said focus on a perfect God, because then the love of God will be in us. When we don't care about the advancement of ourselves, but the advancement of everyone around you, then we can have true peace among us. Good poem, God Bless you my brother in Chirst.

You know, after I finished responding to your previous question including the same poem, I though about the fact that until I was seven years old the only playmates I had were black kids. About the only white people I ever saw were my parents and my sister. We were all so ignorant, both black and white, that we didn't know we were supposed to hate each other (I'm being sarcastic). We just helped each other, got along fine together, and got through each day with respect for one another. Perhaps the common denominator is poverty. Absent that, we had sure better start listening to and respecting each other.

Not only possible but probable. Only thing is, it won't be in most of our lifetimes. But it will come, if the second coming doesn't get here first, in which case it won't matter, because souls have no color.
