in richness there is poverty, in poverty richness. if someone wantd my coat, i am to give them my blanket, too. if someone presses me to go one mile in their service, i am to go two.
i like this poem, it makes one think

Comment from Sally Law
All humans are created equal. As soon as we say put one above the other, we are racists. It doesn't matter when or how. All peoples are equal. I'll say till I leave this place...All lives matter. Kill one to prove a point?
"For God so loved {the world} that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

I agree most heartily with you, otherwise, how can someone born in Africa be less than someone born in Europe, God is not a respecter of persons, all are equal, blessings Roy
Comment from pome lover
I think things worth having are worth fighting for, Roy. This is a great country. We help people all over the world and here in America. We have a great Constitution that's about to be destroyed along with our freedoms. I don't know about you, but I think freedom to speak, do (within the law) think, PRAY! - these freedoms and rights are worth fighting for. And I will try to defend my home if it comes to that. I am learning how to protect myself. It is evil -what's happening - which is always worth fighting.

Comment from Katherine M. (k-11)
Place of birth may be an accident, but in our recent times (until this year) moving was relatively easy, and those fortunate enough could settle where their heart felt at home. This led to great selfishness, and loss of family structure. The question now must be can we regain past values?

Comment from Raffaelina Lowcock
I think the word freedom is misused. If you behold what is going on in the United States "The Land of the Free", then what kind of freedom is it that you can discriminate with violence. When was stealing a form of freedom?
For heaven's sake, it is a Commandment being broken, by hundreds of looters right before our eyes on TV, day after day and those people go FREE. I believe there is something essentially wrong when people get away with beating others and burning property. Also, defacing buildings and statues. So your poem is depicting the dichotomy in the making.

I absolutely agree with you, Ralf, just how do we define freedom, robbing and looting, the Bible defines it as freedom from sin, which enslaves, not legislation, thank you, blessings Roy
