Comment from Gail Denham
How real this is. Why do people post such garbage, such filth, things that will no go away no matter how much you scrub or paint over. And especially if they're aiming their markings at you. Hard to ignore. Hope (if it is aimed at you) you can move on and realize that only the person who painted thinks those thoughts.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written free verse poem about the ugly things in life that we sometimes experience is there in our minds forever and we cannot wipe it out completely.

Comment from Rachelle Allen
Wow. So much message in so few words. REALLY well done, Jenintorre. Stunning entry.
All the offerings in this particular contest seem little short of outstanding! I'm having the best time reading them all. Whether this wins or not, it is a fantastic, MEMORABLE piece. (That's why I'm going to bookcase it.) Thanks for this infusion of excellence today.

Comment from Mark D. R.
This is an exceptional commentary in the world we now live in. Your verse is a excellent complement to your free verse entry.
Lots of great imagery with:
scrubbed and scrubbed
racist words
grafittied
tattooed forever
... my soul
THANKS for expressing how many of us feel about the racism confronting us in the news on a daily basis.

Yes, we can remove the outward signs of racism and evil but the impact is tattooed more permanently. Your simple approach, from the photo to your choice of words and arrangement, is very effective. It deserves to do well in the voting.

Comment from lyenochka
So expertly expressed and this is such a relevant message for today. I like that even with the title 'writing on the wall' you give us a feeling of the ominous effect (as in the Daniel passage of the Bible). Let's hope we can remove all such messages from our souls!

Comment from country ranch writer
Harsh words stay imbedded in ones mind and spirits are dampened by those who are cruel to others inhale fullness. They do not like change and fight against it.

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
I felt the emotion in these words Jen, but the problem sits fairly and squarely with the racist, the person who it is aimed at is in no way guilty of anything. And because of their innocence they should not let this in anyway affect them. I obviously understand your words though, love Dolly x

This is so good and a reminder to all of us that we should always be aware of the damage our words either written or spoken can do to the souls of those hearing or reading the words. Patricia
