hello dearest Benny lines are drawn and free speech is dangerous these days where if the tolerance and love for each other well said❤

If we find the root. Yes, easier said than done. I believe many prejudices we may hold come from our parents.
We are not born with them. Kids play with other kids, all other kids. And then later on as they grow older, they see and copy.
Can we ever go back to that innocence? that acceptance of everyone who is different from us?
I believe in this poem. And if we can figure it all out, maybe we can first understand ourselves and then understand and accept others. This poem sent me on a journey of introspection. Thank you.

This is a very powerful and meaningful writing, dear Peterl!
In my opinion, love and hatred, darkness and light and other counterparts are the two sides of the same coin. Without darkness we were not able to recognize and appreciate the light. Both sides come from the same divine source and are equally important. But it is up to us which side we want to feed energy and establish it this way. We have to BE the love and the peace we want to see in this world!

And perhaps soon, the hands turn blue and cold…
as does inspiration when everything looks and feels the same.

Yes.

Hoi
Amen to that.
If this isn’t a love song I don’t know what is.
Love it to pieces.

Kind regards, Gus

Excellent ink and spilled perfectly .. Neville

Thank you Neville. I appreciate your comment!

Great message. Unfortunately I’m in a bit of a pissy mood with people these days. Wish we could all just not judge.

Great ink

Yes, I can see the late night musings in this cuz. Love the message

Easier said than done, my friend. Still.. all we can do is our best – to live and let live. When my trust, belief and love take a hit I will remember to revisit this write. Inspiring message, thank you for the share.

Fantastic work. Good message.

I’ve always tried to hold the words “you don’t know” in the back of my mind with others. You don’t know their story, you don’t know how far they’ve fallen or how far they’ve come. You just don’t know, so don’t judge. I’ve always felt differences were beautiful. It’s what adds texture to humanity. Another fantastic write, my friend

Very much enjoyed .. Neville

You never know the truths behind someones personality. Message is clear & optimistic. Well done Damian.

Our differences spice up and beautify our lives. They offer a wonderful opportunity to learn more about this world and all its varieties.
Even if it is about the topic you absolutely don’t agree, don’t judge or hate. This makes the situation even worse. Try to stay open-minded and compassionate instead and your mind will be free to find the best solution.
An awesome and brilliantly written poem, dear Damien!

A beautiful and insistent plea for universal acceptance. Its rhythmic, repeated structure powerfully drives home the message that true connection requires us to simply “judge not” those who are different. Resonates in every line and leaves a quiet, lasting impact.
