Community Poem by Ceri Louise Baylis

Community can be made up by a place, Interest or communion
Locality, elective or spiritually bonded union
People share in common the territory where they live
Intentional community's share a characteristic to that they give
Community's such as the traveling, the gay and ethnic types-
Are all bound by shared interests a key to contemporise life
The spirit of the community is based on favours, gestures of good will
Communion relates to religious groups built from that they can distil
Place and interest community's may well both coincide-
Nothing without attachment where shared identity's derived
A persons sense of belonging plays a crucial role in community
Relationships based on trust remaining strong with no disunity
Confucianism stresses love for humanity, harmonious in thought and conduct
A far cry from religious communities waging war on each others construct
Foundation for community is tolerance, reciprocity and trust
Social norms and networking community so society ‘s adjust.(2016)
