Behind Locked Doors

Behind Locked Doors

A Poem by Valentine

     'Behind Locked Doors'

I wish that people everywhere...
Took the time to really care,
For their families and their mates.
So their homes could be a place;
Of tender love and happiness.
And always doing what is best.
Putting others before themselves
No feelings stored...upon a shelf.

Being good and kind, to kith and kin;
And treating others as your friends.
Ready to lend a helping hand,
No prejudice shown toward any man.
Free to follow, the religion they please;
Mixed colors together, upon their knees.
Worshiping the way, that they felt blest;
So each heart could sing inside each chest.

Why must we live with fear inside?
People afraid to ...step outside,
Locked away behind closed doors;
Because they are afraid to trust...anymore.
Lets search inside of each heart and mind;
And erase the evils that leave us blind...
And learn how...to trust once more,
And forever stop dwelling, behind locked doors.

I fear we have passed the point of no return Kathie and your poem is so very honourable and desirable but Utopian and unachievable in our current year/decade/millenia - so many new seeds are already being sown for the most horrible harvests in the not to distant future.
It does begin at home. I agree 100% there.

thank you for this, Kathie...

wish everyone would take heed of these words...

we have to be kind to one another so that we can start building up that trust again..trust in humanity, which we have certainly lost.

Yes, the longer one stays behind closed doors, the worse it becomes. A lot of the time it's fear of fear itself. That's when friends need to rally round.

I guess more and more feel that evil is growing outside so lock themselves into a shell. Kathie
