What a well-written and clever poem. Tolerance can be a good and positive thing but not if it is lazziness when you could be a fanatic for kindness, love, and beauty! Uriah
tolerance to me is indifference and dishonesty..not seeing but pretending that you see a corner or a siluette through the fog...I just love your poem Excellent work Will -Pia
Even the merits of tolerance is debateable. Interesting perspective, you've certainly left us plenty to ponder. Great write, Will! Brian
Dear Will All lies in the ballance between tolerance and liberty, perhaps we shall find liberty in tolerance, Hope your Christmas is a bright one, full of cheer Love duncan X
This is one your most powerful pieces...glad you re-posted it. Precise messages with perfect delivery amplified by form. I hear the second stanza like a siren. Brilliant. -Tailor
Hi Will. This little piece is pretty intense. Sounds like you're angry. There must be someone you want to give yourself permission to be intolerant towards. Well, you do have MY permission. Cheers.
So beautifully and clearly stated Wisdom and truth.... Love, D.
so good to see your name come up; effective style with your wise words. love, Sus
