Hate Inoculation

If Only!

Violence today is on a rampage

With no indication that it will soon fade

People have worked themselves into a rage

The results splashed all over the news's front page

  

A virus has spread all over the world

Accusations and blame everywhere hurled

But everyone is the cause of what makes our blood curdle

Because anger and hatred in our veins swirl

 

Can we not find love for all of our fellow man

Can we not at least try to do what we can

Or is letting it go on this way our only plan

Will no one join me in attempting to take a stand

 

We continue to go on leaving it alone

Thinking all of our chances have past us flown

Reaping the soured fruits of these seeds we have sown

No solutions pursued, no efforts shown

 

But if we let the virus this way continue

It will do naught but expand to a larger issue

Infecting one after another just like the flu

So here is what I propose that we do

 

We should not settle ourselves in this state of placation

We should give shots of love as an inoculation

We can set up a van as a treatment station

And drive it to every state in this nation

 

When we finish here we can continue on

Knowing our work has just barely begun

We'll visit every land underneath the sun

'Till with the LOVE BUG we have infected everyone!

Beautiful sentiment! And it's very true, and relevant, in the world today. Thank you for submitting it to my contest.

What a wonderful thought....If only it would happen....the world today is such an angry, hateful place...
If everyone could see things the way you do..what a wonderful world this would be!!

I really really love this poem Frances! I don't know what to say other than more people need to feel the love you have in you! My favorite part is:

We should not settle ourselves in this state of placation

We should give shots of love as an inoculation

We can set up a van as a treatment station

And drive it to every state in this nation

I really appreciate this work! It is quite stellar! I love you main!!!
