Gentleness A Lost Virtue? Poem by John Knight

A helpless call to Gentelness and other virtues to come back to this era...Humans of today are really losing Reason and Ethics, so there is nothing left to deserve our so- to -speak 'human' prestige...Thnx for this call and this reminder.

I agree so much, this world has seen so much hate and greed, and mostly due to competitiveness, people were once more accepting, now they are less accepting and it seems that the values of these awful characteristics are getting stronger...10 for caring, for sharing..and for bringing it to light

I loved it! full of Question Marks. a sweet call for noble feelings the Gentleness is hidden in the flexures of yesterday the Aggression is exposed in every page of today Thanks For Sharing.

So many questions...I wish, John, how I wish! This poem speaks so much and touches my soul. Written with great passion and beauty! God bless, Smiley

Thank you so much John for your telling me about this poem.O I remember the bygone days when manners mattered and gentlemen were just that and o yes ladies were just that.Things were slow and relaxing and everyone was your neighbor.Society has gone back to a hurried primitive behavior where # 1 is all that matters.John your poem speaks volumes about the changes in today's society.Beautiful and enlightening

I know gentlemen are few and far between these days, as are many ladies of yesterday. Inventions have changed the method of courtship where letters, walks and long telephone calls have emails, text messages, fast cars and mobiles. Perhaps if we could wipe out drugs there may be some improvement, but people are being bashed up by crazy addicts. I really like the way you write John, asking a question to the reader with a methodical, and yet creative approach with your poem. Thank you for sharing. 10 love Karin
