How We Deal With Life

How We Deal With Life

Love means many different things to each of us who are visiting here.
I imagine that it would promote peace and reduce the nations' tears
If we could, at least, concede that could we simply refrain
From violence and lack of caring, that love could bloom again.

Tender emotions have been downgraded as a sign of being weak.
Scruples are viewed, by some, as a loser's code for only the mild and meek
Who are apt to choose the less hostile solutions in this, their life span.
When our society ceases to promote hate and violence then we can

Have a peaceful place from which to approach our life's survival
Where each can operate on the premise that not everyone is their rival.
Religions, creeds, nationality or color are usually inherited
Over which we had absolutely no control. Judgment - totally unmerited.
