Love Appreciation For All? Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

the penalty factor
in failing life's lessons
must bottom out at

suicide not
death
by misadventure

nice social terminology
life as 'the rat race'
'in a dog eat dog world'

education sports arts employment
normally acclaims only top achievers
leaves so many running on empty

'Why do we not teach children
happiness life survival skills
along with their basic ABCs? '

Why do we not teach
love appreciation
for all human beings?
