Take a Hand of Another and Make Him Thy Brother

Sounds like a black preacher

Now will you do me this favor

Just take the hand of another

and make him thy brother

Regardless of his color

May he be black, white, yellow, or brown

Just send the love all around

Taking our fathers sins

and starting over again

But this time we'll learn

From the raped, torchered, and burned

That HATE should not be our ways

and we should spread LOVE every day

And further ourselfs as a human race

by breaking hummanity's chains

Of pride, gluttony, jealousy, and vainity

But most of all our reasonless

HATE

Now please do me this favor

and make love thy brother

Everyone of us

[The Perfectionist]

It's poems like this that justify calling yourself Hippy. It's exactly what I'd expect from you, for better or worse. Mostly better.

It's well written, and I like the message, even if I'm too cynical to put any stock in it. And yes, you do sound like a black preacher.

Btw, 'ourselves' is not spelled 'ourselfs'

[Sam Severn]

Your words ring SO TRUE!! I hope the voice of Love will kick a*s once-and-for-all over the voice of Hate, on some beautiful frickin' day! ㋡

[The Last Poetic King]

Great man, its what I want to do. See this is why you and I are brothers, we share the same dreams.

[Sofia N]

This is awesome, I love the words in this poem, this is so sincerely true. Great Job..:)

[Zeitgeist Manifesto]

Awesome poem. At some point we must start over. The traditions of fathers have led to wars that have led thousands of years. We should follow your example and live. Love the message.

Very well written.

A nice poem about the notion of brotherly (sisterly) love. There are many irregularities of spelling, punctuation, and grammar (all done purposely, I imagine) that draw the critic in and are useful in setting tone. I particularly like some of the made-up words (like torchered and vainity). Good work on an irregular poem,

[QuietPoet]

I liked this, very uplifting and we all should accept people for who they are. Nice job.
