Blessed Are The Poor In Spirit Comments
Did you ever understand this?
If my spirit was poor, how could I enter heaven?
Was I depressed?

How does one report a commenter like Conner Richardson below? He is obviously just a hater. And he has no poetic contributions here himself that I could find. Alice Walker is an incredibly gifted, beautiful soul. The thing that makes her beautiful is that she doesn't focus on the hate and racism that has been spirited her way by people like you for her entire life. It is as if she sings such beautiful hymns while scraping dog crap like you off of her heel, otherwise not even acknowledging your existence..... Do you see that your comments and what you might believe is your intelligence appears so very, very tiny? You should re-read this poem again - and perhaps its inspirational verse form the Bible - because reckoning is coming my friend.....
John! John! John! I zip through a lot of comments to reach yours and Kim Barney's comments as well as a couple of others'. [There's a new guy on the block too- a Steven S if I remember correctly- - who has made illuminating comments] Your and their comments add to my experience with a poem. Even if I disagree or don't see what you all see, comments widen my horizons. I hate to see you so upset by the comments this guy made. Freedom of expression covers them too- unless they use foul language then I report the heck out of them. If I think they are really off-base, I figure that eventually they will grow through some more years and more experiences to the point they can see in a poem what they are not prepared for now. I seldom dislike a comment- people have a right to their own wrong opinion [okay, I'm fooling around with a little word play]. I even comment sometimes that I find a poem dull and a waste of my time to read- it's rare but I have said it! I also try to add that I may be in a grumpy, non-receptive mood that day too! I think other people's comments may come out of a similar place in their lives. Have a better day, John, just reflect that your comments have enriched a lot of people's appreciation for these poems.
A beautifully written poem. I can sense where the poet is delving deep into the hearts of its readers. Our concern for others is rooted in this sweet spiritual write. Quite inspiring.
This poem made me want to puke... No connection between the caring of others and God...
Very good poem about caring for others, Osceola Birdman Waters
This poem is careing as God wants us to care for others, Osceola Waters.
