Time To Look In The Mirror Comments

That define us as a nation To aspire and hold ourselves together. Amazing and very beautiful poem shared on. Each line brings deep emotion and life is to realize accordingly. Interesting.

It is time for a soul searching not only for individuals but also for nations! 'Something is rotten in the whole state of Denmark'...... We shall rephrase it as' something is rotten in the whole world'! Not one country alone can be victimized! This is what is happening everywhere! The guardians of Democracy have become its assassins! A bold and powerful write!

An amazing and straightforward look at what is going on here in America! Your poem stirs the heart to admit there are many things wrong here in the U.S., and silently to ourselves we realize and admit what you say is true. So many Americans do the right thing, try to right injustice that they see, yet it seems to be one-sided most of the time. There's so much more wrong being committed here that the media sees fit not to broadcast. It seems that the racists are the ones burning and looting cities, yet they are being portrayed as heroes. Things have turned around somehow and evil is praised instead of condemned. Racists think they are justified in using violence against innocent people that live in their own neighborhoods. I commend you for illuminating these events and not being afraid to speak out. Great poem with a great message, Savita. Thank you for sharing, RoseAnn

It's a beautiful and powerful right about looking to self and improving upon. But to accept our wrong doings Examine and correct our mistakes And walk on the path of virtue ...... Thanks for sharing

The refrain line THE WHOLE WORLD KNOWS is a powerful reminder that we live inside a network of communications in which the whole world CAN KNOW and know INSTANTLY. However (and this is a sad qualification) , there are so many neo-isolationist Americans who just don't care what the world knows or thinks. Your refrain line which should be an alert to their moral conscience (!) , will make some of them mutter So what? and others give Fox News editorials on the theme It's OK for us to protect ourselves because we're the defenders of freedom.And they do feel we are justified in using violence. I don't say this to discourage your type of poem, but to ENCOURAGE it. Inside those two words is the word COURAGE and that is the virtue your poem conveys. Defending the CORE VALUES OF AMERICAN LIFE always requires courage. You have displayed yours!

Brave poem, self introspection is very important, for humans and for nation as a whole, thanks for the share :)

And recognize with humility That we are not the sole guardian of values That arrogance simply tarnishes Even the most cherished virtues. A very good poem for champions of human right and their attitude towards humans and human values.Well done Col Muhammad Khalid Khan

A great write, I congratulate you for sharing this nice work.................10
