A Glimmer of Glory
A response to a powerful post on DamyantiWrites .
A Glimmer of Glory
entered in
as I looked
at my inbox
within.
What within my eyes
did I spy?
A sensitive soul
with a plaintive cry.
Someone had been hurt
by hateful din.
Why must we let
the hateful and violent win?
Why battle at all
between them and us?
For there is always a fall
And someone to crush.
A call from the pain
was sent on to read
Will we enter our peace
And to the caller heed?
Need we add to the gall
and the hate?
We can add goodness and kindness
then spate
of peace will flow from our pages
to pass on to elders
and to younger ages.
That battle will cease
and bile will abate
And we will find peace
and release of the hate.
We may not change kingdoms
States-folk or leaders
But we can influence friends
In our social media feeders.
The pathway to our peace
Begins between you and me
little by little
we can become free.

Simon's still stanza 
Powerful and followed up on Damyanti and her post. It does seem there is a lot of ignorance and hate being released at present. So I agree we do what we can in the many ways we can to keep the positive values of community. Great poem.
Thank you.
A beautiful poem…just reading the lines gave me a sense of peace.
Thank you. It is peace I am hoping for.
