I hope everyone will take a few extra minutes to click on the link below to watch a video regarding the rise of Antisemitism around the world.

Thank you!

Video: The Path to the Final Solution

I was born of a thousand generations.

Those who came out of the fire before me,

Left their mark on my heart to persevere

Unfathomable grandiose delusions.

 

They will not shame my head into the sand;

Nor will I avert my eyes from dark fears.

I dare their hate to burn my soul to sleep;

To grind my essence into putrid smoke.

 

I may not survive for more than a day;

But I may stimulate the dead to rise…

Saving all new children from human misery.

 

All needs a time—like this, to rain for peace

On hostile deserts of mummified rage;

For life is the real cause, not mine, but ours!

Whatever they do to disgrace humanity won't over power the dynamo of love.

An excellent Blank Verse Sonnet delivering a great message.

Respectfully,

I too have seen this report... What I find the saddest is that more and more youth are becoming openly involved in this as well. But the all time saddest thing I once saw was a news channel's report of a white supremacy group's annual parade. I guess I had always imagined it to be a group of adults...and yet, in the parade were families with young children...maybe 2 or 3 years old, marching together. I found it incredibly sad that these parents were openly teaching their children to hate others... I just don't get that and never will! It made me sick...

Thanks for sharing this with us.

I have seen this, Sara... I'm glad to see it said by someone else too. I know it's terrible in S. America, and getting worse here constantly. It is sickening. My senator and rep know where I stand when it comes to Israel. We cannot afford to lay down our swords right now-- oh, how I hope and pray our new elected leaders will see the larger picture in this!

The mind of a Poet is a creative engine of beauty, wonders and grace to diffuse love, harmony; to learn and to teach; to instruct Solons and to inspire kings and Sovereign queens; to defend art and the language; and to stimulate intuition and imagination.

This is the kind of poetic flower whose petals feed the bees and the hummingbirds of the forest of the readers’ intellectuality.

Your writing stimulates my historic background, and makes my DNA activated to produce enzymes of nourishing values to keep me alive “On my journey to Justice for Justice everywhere.

The contents and subject dealt have received the background to stand through the millennia and reflect themselves on the mirror of mankind’s dignity.

The path to humanity and fraternity is pictured of the second tercet of this Sonnet... BLANK VERSE SONNET – (The main poetic form used by Master John Milton, polemicist, Poet, author of "Paradise Lost"; and Master William Shakespeare, Poet and dramatist.) Two Poets that have produced works in Blank Verse that equal in aesthetics values and class with this "Life With Cause".

I must say that the last tercet (Fourth Stanza) of "Life With Cause" was written with diamond letters.

The author has presented a work that enriches the treasury of Poetry, honors the English language, and shows the world how the American Fine Letters glow.

It was a privilege to read a Blank Verse Sonnet; and one that stands on its own orbit.

Never stop posting. Never rest Your pen.

In respect and admiration,

Sara,

Heartbreaking reality: I've heard tell, and often say, those that forget history are condemned to repeat it - I pray not, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Sara - Your presentation is disturbing and makes me wondering if I've been secluded too long. I am a WWII veteran, and was there to read, see and hear all the diatribe of Hitler's campaign. Since then I've stayed aware of what the movie presents well. However, it is sadly causing me to wonder if this conflict will ever be resolved. In my late eighties, with limited sight, I wis there was more that I could do to help. My best to you and those closely involved. - Bill
