Like the caption, which in itself says a lot. Some relevant questions raised but the answers still manage to evade. Thanks for sharing and hope you do well in the contest.

Comment from Rachelle Allen
Ohhhh dear!! The music teacher in me is crying over this one, A.Z.! I tried my very best to "sing" it...but nothing rhymed, and too often I had to smush words together to make them all fit within the beat of The Star Spangled Banner.
But I know your patriotic heart was in the right place, so I still felt a five was in order. Good luck in the contest.

-Good artwork and presentation, A.Z.
-I had the tune of the "Star Spangled Banner"
in my head as I read your poem, and it
fit perfectly.
-A creative idea for a poem.
-You make some very good points in your poem
and also ask some good questions.
-Good opening lines, followed by the
idea of uniting, not fighting.
-Very good lines about what "Hate will declare:"
"Burning rainbows with prayer."
-Very good questions at the end and
someday, maybe we will find answers.
-Very well done; good luck in the contest.

This is a very good entry for the Rhyming Poetry competition. It is cleverly done using the Star-Spangled Banner rhyme scheme and the message is definitely needed! I enjoyed it very much! Great job!

I once saw a cartoon drawing of a donkey and an elephant wearing a tee shirt that read it is his fault pointing at each other that really captured politics for me

I feel your sentiment about the (I assume) is the current political climate. I enjoyed your opening line the most and it made me want to read more. Well written.

It's amazing what a knowledge of scripture can do, it stirred this one, Jesus luges looked upon the crowd with compassion and discerned sheep without a shepherd. Beautifully written, and excellent short treatise on that memory, blessings Roy

Wow! This is a riveting piece you have delivered here, my friend. It encapsulates the world today, and its corruption.
What a brilliant line you have here. "O God, didn't You sculpt us all from the same clay?"
Thank you for sharing.
God bless,
Steve
