Just My Thoughts Poem by louis rams

Since I was very young, I saw and heard different things in life
And decided and realized that two things that I could never do
Is getting in any debates about politics or religion.
They are both too controversial and has torn people and countries
Apart because of it.
For that reason I have never followed or read enough about them
To judge or debate it. Whatever religious teachings I have is from
Going to church growing up, and I found that no two people
Interpret the bible the same, so it is in both factors in politics and religion.
No one person or group has all the answers that is why GOD gave us free will.
(My belief) there is one thing that I wholeheartedly believe in and that
Is the right to be free to practice or believe in what you want.
There will always be a voice in every group, neighborhood, and county
Town, city, or nation “that will “stand up to atrocities created by fellow man.
This is going on in every nation in the world.
War, hunger, poverty, sickness, slavery, sexual and physical abuse
Has all been created by man- “not by GOD “!
I know this has been going on since the beginning of time
And not everything will change, but we can take the steps to start some changes.
Let us just start by respecting each other and maybe “just maybe “
We can create a chain reaction.
Do we really want to pass on the world problems to our children?
Let children grow up as children!
No one is born with hatred or prejudice!
Parents and others instill them.
