2 mirrors, 2 worlds
the greatest price to pay is ignorance
the greatest tragedy is defiance
but even stronger sorrow is derived
from intolerance, unacceptance and racism
If I can accept your differences
why can't you accept mine?

I'll agree with the others on this one. short but very direct

We all have different levels or degrees of tolerance. What I may tolerate in you, another my not be able to accept. There will be differences between us always, otherwise it would be a rather monotonous world. A short poem, but it offers much to consider...

Oh yeah, I hear ya, gurl! lol I hear ya! I think that a lot was said here in such a short time...something deep yet not preachy...very nice balance you got there!

I liked this. It was to the point and casual in your approach to a rather lofty subject. Not a whole lot I can say about this really. It was good.

I liked this poem, I think about the last 2 lines of your poem often. Why is it so hard for so many to be tolerant....make love not war, peace
