Suspicion....

"Look long, and hard at your neighbour, now carefully study their face, what is the reason they're here? Is this country, really their place? Are they plotting, and scheming, to inflict terror, and pain? In the name of a religion, what are they trying to gain? Creating a pure hatred, that wasn't there before, breeding a dislike of the stranger living next door. Our eyes must now be more observant, suspicion a must, long gone are the days, when we always had trust. These "people" enjoy Killing! have no respect for our law, enough is enough!.....you're not welcome here anymore!"

I like how the anger and fear are transmitted. This poem really reflects the pain and frustration. Really liked it.

This floating rock in space and time belongs to all those called humans
Man tries to draw slippery geographic lines disappearing in political agendas time
when one day we might unite
A time when creatures afar remind us who we are
Beautifully sensitive human lights in need of acceptance love and compassion for all...

I look at my neighbour and see that he looks at his other neighbours this way. He's terrified of the stories yet never had anything bad happen to him or his neighbourhood. It really shows how information and the spread of propaganda can be used to incite emotion. Even I feel that way sometimes and I don't know why logic takes over and I'm sound of mind again. to cut to the chase, it shows how humans deal with differences in a nutshell. I can relate and I know most in America right now can or knows people that can. Good piece of writing that. Well done.
