replying on Racism 2 by Dovina

Poems on racism seem to stress on prejudices, pride and a whole lot of superfacial crap. This is a very sensitive topic: it seems to show that you are determined on conveying your idea on Racism or trying to prove that one set of humans is superior, or that one is inferior. I would rather like to see something like "We are the world.... we are the children".

The idea's quite good though the presentation could have been a bit more connected. I liked it. Keep it up.

Excuse me, but spell out the 17 syllables here. Am I losing something. I still find it confusing figuring out a Haiku. 5-7-5?

Kindly refer to "slaves and serpents". That's why you don't connect quickly. How will you ever understand a child/ children. And what do you know about being spiritual and sensitive to people's happiness? That doesn't seem to be your priority from how I see it. Asking weird questions to sound philosophical makes you seem so shallow. Well, you said it, you are banging on
about something you know nothing about, whether you have children or not.

Not bad...... You have a nice way of turning a very obscure scene into poetic reality.

Not my cup of tea. As for the para 1 line 4, you said it! Your confession suits you very well.

When I was checking the charts to find the best, i noted your poem ranking -1. Curiously I read it, and must say, hats off to you! you did a wonderful job on that - barrister or not. Hmmm, now for a hot cup of coffee....please may I have one.

No offence, but somehow, something's missing. The poem's good, but I don't feel the punch as much as I do in some poems.
