Sowing The Seeds Of Love(Sprouting Hate)

 

  

Everyone’s Genesis…

       Planted with care in the womb

Of mother’s natural garden.

Sprouting from God’s seed

We all grow to love

Just some are bred to hate

By subliminal minions

Disguised within parents.

 

Reckless actions…

       That trumps encouraging words,

       For “evil see evil do”

       Is more than a catchy phrase.

       It’s an all too real reality

       When young minds are subjected

       To images of their protectors

Acting out negative feelings.

 

It’s the spark…

       That can create a fire

       The size of hell’s landscape

       Turning a once beautiful mind

       Into ashes…

              To ashes,

Dust to dust…

       Till it buries them

       R.I.P. innocents.

I often think new borns are the cleanest souls, coming into life with a blank slate to be filled with colours and riches............sadly, as is so often the case it does not turn out this way, and the soul is filled with images, thoughts that are not clean, and children are molded to become grown adults that commit such vile acts, causing pain.........you have written a stunning piece, full of imagary, which captures my thoughts very well.

Great title! I especially like the last verse
"Turning a once beautiful mind
Into ashes…
To ashes,
Dust to dust…"
Children learn from their parents and their surroundings, we need to protect and nurture our children. I like this poem.

[Colleen C Dunphy]

Wonderful poem.
I loved it honestly until the last line. I have such a comedy association with R.I.P that I would rather see it written out.

[Ferg]

very powerfully stated.......nicely written!

[Ed Hart]

we all get touched by that; it's up to us to find a way out; that, and grace, you know

Excellent! And so sadly true. What we reap we will sow, and that applies to our children. We need to remember that actions and attitudes are watched and ingrained and imitated. Well said. Wonderful write.
