Comment from Ulla
Nomi, what a wonderful piece you have written. I watch the Madison Square rally and the hatred and racism astounded me. This is not the USA I used to know, and believe you me, I know it well. That I'm also half American speaks for itself. Never mind religion, just vote blue please. Please save your country and the rest of us from that lunatic. Ulla xcx

Absolutely. When a person tells and shows you who they really are, you should believe them. This man Trump says what he will do clearly and his apologists insist that is not what he means. Even though those who know him well insist that he is not kidding.

He is a dangerous person.
Comment from Cecilia A Heiskary
What a great poem. We could all learn a lesson from God. He loves us unconditionally and accepts us for who we are. He sees only his children and he gives us free will. I don't understand all the hate in this world. I only know it is passed down through the generations and that needs to stop, until it does there will always be hate in the world. I was not taught hate at home and I have raised my children the same way. Keep those poems coming.

Thank you. I mostly these days write only by inspiration. So, I do not post a lot. I truly appreciate your wonderfully kind comments. Your children are blessed to have such a wise and kind mother.

You welcome
Comment from Brenda Strauser
Thank you for writing this. What you said is so true. I am concerned about this country. I watched a rally in Madison Square Garden and I couldn't believe the racism. Your poem is well written well.

Comment from GWHARGIS
I'll be so glad when this election is over. Honestly, I don't think either side cares for the American people. They love the power and the attention but if I lit myself on fire in the middle of D C. no one would see it as more than a photo op. This was a grounding poem. God's love is the only thing we can count on. Gretchen

Thank you Gretchen. I am reminded of Jesus words to Pilate, He told him, this kingdom or government is not mine, if it were you would be serving me. All politicians and future politicians should remember that.
Comment from jake cosmos aller
well said and timely message. It is time to end all of this animosity and ethnic hatred being driven by one of the candidates and his MAGA movement, his latest rally at Marvin Square Gardens was a really hate festival.

I agree and it is only because he knows that a sizable number of citizens are so small minded, hateful and greedy. they will allow him to do what he wants as long as they can have apiece of the pie that they don't have to work for or share with somebody that does not look like, live like, or think like them.
Comment from karenina
What a timely, honest, from the heart poem! As I watched the hatred and vitriolic rhetoric spew from Madison Square Garden, I was appalled not only by the lies and hatred being fed to the crowd but by the crowd's enthusiastic reception to it!
I can't understand how hating our fellow citizens of earth will amount to anything but injury or death, or decimation of families torn apart in the name of "deportation."
Surely there is a better way to handle this than racial slurs and comments like: "... immigrants are 'poisoning the blood of our country..."
We've seen how this ends. With Concentration Camps and genocide.
I'm praying for Divine Intervention to soften the hearts of haters...
One week to go before the election.
This is frightening!

I very strongly believe that the end of this wicked system is very near. I do not believe that God will allow much more damage to be done to his planet or his people. He is going to bring to ruin, all those ruining the Earth. That ruin is pollution of trash and of trashy thinking.

I had a plumber here today who was incensed that I was not voting for "his" candidate. I worried about his anger.
There was no room for discourse. He was IRATE and, at 65 years old, unable to connect to any sense of respect or exchange of thoughts.
How long can this go on? I agree, Nomi--
God must be impatient with the inhumanity!
Comment from Dolly'sPoems
You have a lot of racial discrimination and hatred in the states that we don't have in our country. I don't like the idea of singling out any particular race for praise as I believe that we are all equal and are entitled to the same opportunities. The only discrimination is quite rightly on education. If you have studied and achieved then you get the best jobs no matter your status in life or racial background. I hope things improve over there, a poignant post, food for thought, love Dolly x

Thank you Dolly. Hatred is not welcome no matter where it comes from and no matter who it is directed towards. It must end befoere the ones practicing it are themselves ended.

Comment from mermaids
I agree with your words. It is past time to get together and live in peace. We are so divisive right now. I like your line about how we are one species, so true. I also like how you mention God who does not approve of all of our going against each other. Excellent use of words for our current situation in this country.

Comment from Marilyn Hamilton
Such a perfectly timed presentation for this poem after seeing the latest speeches given at a Madison Square Garden rally. I was saddened beyond words that so many in this country go along with the feelings demonstrated. I pray we see a reversal of this thinking soon. If not a reversal of the thinking perhaps just less outward demonstration of it. Thanks for sharing

Thank you. I am sickened by the overt racism displayed by people who obviously do not realize that they are being filmed and they will not be able to walk back their comments.
-
Do they not know they are being filmed or do they just not care? I wonder.
-
They are saying what they think their leader wants to hear. Just in case he wins and looks in favor at them. Poor fools, the man is only loyal to himself.
Comment from Begin Again
God created as equals and we should be treated as such under the law. At one point, every one of us had an ancestor who was an immigrant unless you are full-blooded Indian. My family is a mixed race and I do not want to see my grandchildren treated any differently than someone else. I pray the Lord knows how to stop the crazy shift in our society.
Hugs, Carol
