psychologists say
that which we find odious
in others
is that which we loathe most
in ourselves
...if...
we are a nation
that fears fascism
decries racial apartheid
and caste systems
fiercely combats
childhood starvation
medical deprivation
pandemic devastation
of AIDS, money-driven bloodshed,
moral superiority
and religious fanaticism
on foreign soil
what do we see in the mirror?
Depthful poem asking good questions. I like your writing. I found your blog through Poets United!
