Toleration Poem by Will Barber

Even the merits of tolerance is debateable. Interesting perspective, you've certainly left us plenty to ponder. Great write, Will! Brian

Dear Will All lies in the ballance between tolerance and liberty, perhaps we shall find liberty in tolerance, Hope your Christmas is a bright one, full of cheer Love duncan X

Very powerful Will, excellent write, thankyou--Melvina--

This is one your most powerful pieces...glad you re-posted it. Precise messages with perfect delivery amplified by form. I hear the second stanza like a siren. Brilliant. -Tailor

A warm, strong, powerful write... bravo Will

I loved this one Will. I have always felt that Tolerance is a horrid word. It means, 'I choose to stand you, but that does not mean I respect you, nor does it mean I need to find a love in my heart for you'. You've captured that sentiment well in this poem. Great write Will! :)

Tolerance is one less beer than your mate! Sorry.

Political correctness is a lie, a trap to live without risk.

What a well-written and clever poem. Tolerance can be a good and positive thing but not if it is lazziness when you could be a fanatic for kindness, love, and beauty! Uriah

tolerance to me is indifference and dishonesty..not seeing but pretending that you see a corner or a siluette through the fog...I just love your poem Excellent work Will -Pia
