My Facebook friend, Shankar Hemmady, has written a very timely poem about tolerance and love. Written to Six-pack Joes and Sassy Socker Moms, his poem is timely in this political season and lovely. If heeded, his is a remedy that would go a long way to healing our nation of its syndrome of bigotry and racism, a sinful and nation/self-destructing disease if there ever was one.

Joe Six-Packs and Socker and Hockey Moms, forsake the politics of beer friendship and drunken bonding and female sass for the sake of sass. Time for serious reflection and purpose. We have work to do in this nation. Heed this poetic plea, and heal thyself.

Withdraw hate
Radiate joy.

Heed the words
of God:

Love
Peace
Harmony

with

your neighbor
your enemy
your self
your father
your son
your holy ghost.

Isn't this a lovely poem? Will our nation heal itself of all its divisions, hatreds, and injustices?
