Ode To Tolerance

Ode To Tolerance

This is not a perfect world, we see things everyday,

that make us take a second look, or make us turn away

The heart of man has turned to stone, compassion is not found,

we've taken love and friendship, and beat them to the ground

Let's end this reign of violence, and halt these evil designs,

we are all in this as one human race to that we must resign

So please reach out so all of us cease the malice and the pain,

and maybe one day soon, we'll hear sweet music in the rain

And as you kneel and pray for a better life for all

Ask that Peace and Tolerance be placed visible on the wall

John…I agree with you!  Excellent write!  Yet, I fear there is little love left in the "heart of mankind"…it has ground cold.  I join you in that prayer "for a better life for all…may tolerance be placed visible on the wall!"

Hi Valerie, sorry for the late reply. Yes the world needs Peace, and Tolerance.

I wish I could have  given this poem to Nelson Mandela. It's people like him

that make a huge difference in the world in a positive way.
