We Dilute Ourselves

We dilute ourselves

Believing terrorism

Is new to our shores.

How ‘bout Oklahoma City,

The Olympic Park

Or Ted Kaczynski.

Maybe Newtown rings a bell

Perhaps Columbine;

A seemingly endless list

And not a single Muslim.

More often than not

Terrorists look just like you.

Scary isn’t it?

      I like to think so. I am not trying to diminish the fact that ISIS is a dangerous group, but to put all people of the Muslim faith into the ISIS category is just plain wrong, especially when most of the heinous acts of violence in this country are perpetrated by whites right up to today. Thanks William.

    Great message, Dom. I wrote a post called Unity around Thanksgiving. About under our skin there is still same blood, muscles and sinew. I believe there will always people who fear ones they don’t know or understand. Used take me cringe but I try to let my heavy heart go. ♡

      That is a wonderful way to be. Yes indeed, we are all the same when it comes down to it, if only we all took the time to realize that.

    Wonderful poem. A call for deep thinking about life, about human dignity.

    Minunat poem. Un îndemn la gândire profundă despre viață, despre demnitate umană.
