Poetry: Do you?

by Karen Chaffee

Created on: November 16, 2008

I believe in our world there exists more good than bad

And that even in the bad lies a modicum of good

Do you?

I believe that for each of us lives more than one right mate

That love beats stronger than hate's thrumming violence

That forgiveness brings healing to the not only the soul

of she who receives it

but also to he who gives it

Do you?

I believe that angels hold more strength

than a demon holds evil

I believe that when humanity all bleeds red

inequality and prejudice should be laid to rest

I believe the only person with whom we should compete

and do our best to better stares back from the mirror.

Do you?
