A world unknown since the dawn of ages Lays deep in the hearts of the truly wise The truth revealed only in small stages Perfection approached over swirling lies
What's more to love to surrender oneself Falling into the arms of another No piercing arrows of a little elf For passion's fire despair will soon smother
Simple truth reflected in our nature We must nourish a gentle loving race A baby will cling to life we nurture A time hard for our memory to trace
The value of every human life Is equal in a world devoid of strife

About this poem:
Wouldn't it be nice if we cared for and valued every human being like a newborn baby?
Yes it would, but as usual the truth hurts. Lovely poem Yankee,

Hi Yankee
It's great to see the sonnet (which I have long considered as arguably the purest form of poetry) alive and well here on poetry corner. Your message is beyond contradiction in this fine write.

another heart felt poem. yes it is so sad that we see race,creed,color, and beauty as something to condem or aprase as we see fit rather then embrace the soul and nurture it with love.
