Let Love Spread Poem by Nosheen Irfan
Let Love Spread
Hatred smites too often
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
shaking our faith in mankind
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
We raise our hands to Heavens
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
for peace and love to descend
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
But there's more to be done
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
There's a need for love to grow
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
its roots deep within our souls
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Let love spread its branches
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
to displace bigotry and intolerance.
There is a certain prejudice when lives are lost in a sensational fashion and therefore publicized because the media has a story.400,000 Syrians have died because of the empty suit leader in America that stood by and allowed this to happen as he abandoned Iraq. Leaving a vacuum filled now by savage sub-human beings. This business of shining a light on an event because it fits a narrative is for the small minds easily led. South Africa is now by far worse than ever with rapes and murder and injustice but the Hollywood stars do not care because it is black on black crime and corruption and yet all blood is red. Terrorism is met with indifference until certain people die and then sadness sets in. I should hope that I never become so blind. Your poem should be for humanity. The people of Paris and Orlando gain attention but not the people of Fallujah or the daily dead in the streets of Chicago.
I dont mind constructive criticism at all Edmund. Your observations are quite right n im glad you made these objective comments. Our concern is all mankind regardless of race, religion or nationality.
I hope you understand that I did not mean this as a criticism of you at all. I wrote poems myself when Paris was attacked. We in America are watching our nation implode and political correctness is its death rattle......................your poem is an eloquent prayer for peace at a time when we need it the most. Written without dramatics. Neither over or understated. Your voice must be heard. Beautiful.
Thanku Edmund for your wise remarks. This poem is for all humanity written in the context of a particular incident.
Aameen......Masha Allah...let them all come to the straight path and follow it with love and mutual respect even with so many differences. Loved it...100+++
For all of humankind to continue existing, we must learn to love everyone equally
