Two Ears Versus One Mouth
by Charles A Green

So

    

So many have opinions

But so few listen.

The attitude is

“Let’s invade their dominion

and embe d them in our tradition.”

 

We have two ears versus one mouth.

Hence we do well

to pay attention

to the next man’s path,

because there is no one standard of beauty.

Against ignorance, there is not enough wrath.

 

The biggest problem with this world

is not the nuclear weapon.

Instead, it is the ignorant, closed ear

that doesn’t give a care about love or knowledge.

This is the element that we should fear.

 

When the mouth functions more than the ear,

tragic things always happen--

like when the whole Islamic religion was the scapegoat

for the 9/11 distraction.

 

Any open minded person

can clearly see

that there’s a difference

between terrorism and Islam.

It’s just that so many minds are closed,

especially when someone does something

like drop a bomb.

 

No one likes to be misunderstood.

Yet, it’s common to misinterpret others.

We conclude things about people

based on what we think

instead of getting the facts from the persons themselves.

 

This was the case with the Salem Witch trials

and why the Nazi Holocaust is entrenched in our history.

The African Slave Trade pertains to this also.

Such ignorance has caused unspeakable misery.

 

The aftermath of 9/11

told us the truth about ourselves.

Muslims are not the problem.

We just need to open our ears

and listen to people before we criticize.

 

There are rotten persons in every religion

Some are cheating their flocks out money right now!

You know good and well that this is true .

the ignorant closed ear... and on the other foot...the informed and aware closed mouths.
