Wow, what a powerful poem. The beauty of the poetic form is eclipsed by the wonderful message! I like to quote lines that touch me in a review, but they are all so beautiful, I don't know where to start. Thank you for the wonder of this poem, and for the reminder about judging!

Comment from Njorgensen
Powerful poem about what the world really needs. There is so much pain and suffering in the world.
I thought your poem had excellent rhyming and a smooth flow to it.
I like the sentiment you expressed.

Good commentary on the state of the world. All we see on tv is hate, rants, and worse. I like your presentation of the animated picture. Good use of alliteration in several instances. Your poem has a strong message. Good job and thanks for sharing.

Judge not that you be not judged. Everything will work out when Judgement Day arrives . This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for an interesting read.

Good word choices to enforce the ugliness of hate:hurled hard,/ slicing through and through. Excellent use of alliteration especially in stanza two. Stanza three is a thought worth discussing. Powerful ending.

Boxergirl: We all have gifts and talents. We should connect together and try to make a better world. Some of the "different" people are very skilled in fashion design and merchandising. I admired the displays of butterflies made out of feathers at Neiman Marcus. I liked the Christmas decorations with the colorful balls and art work. We should step back and appreciate one another. Critical is out of style. I like your poem and Jesus died for us all. I like your statement about stop judging and start loving. Well written! flylikeaneagle

Thank you for your review and kind comments.

Hi, Boxergirl...
Excellent point in this. Jesus didn't discriminate, so why oh why do we have so much discrimination?? Just boggles the mind the hatred that is out there.
Stunning artwork --- along with your poem, is a super presentation.
Cheers & Blessings

Comment from Ben Colder
So true. I was thinking about when Paul asked God to remove a thorn in his flesh concerning remembering how he fed Christians to lions. Jesus told him , My grace is sufficient for you, Paul You did good as always with your poetry. HE LIVES+

I read your author's notes first before I read your poem, so what you wrote is all the more impactful, boxergirl. It's pretty scary what's going on in our world, isn't it? There are so many really hateful people out there.
Your poem is well written, and your abcb rhyming is perfect. I particularly liked the alliteration in "hurting hearts," although your alliteration throughout is well done. Your poem has a fine flow, also.
Thank you for sharing this insightful write! Take care. Alana

Comment from Donovan
Your poem has a strong message, one that most any civil person, religious or not, would argue with. It flows well and has good meter. Two comments. The poem stands alone, Author notes taint how the reader interprets...not sure that is always good. This is a great message but written from a different point of view, it may have more lasting quality. Well done.
