Without Fears Poem by Tom Allport

A thought provoking poem, a question that is still pending for a reply.

Here in my warm bed I can only imagine the pain, suffering and starvation people in this world are going through. I really am blessed. The tragedies are just becoming so common. People are not even shocked anymore. Lovely write and a title we can only hope is possible.

The terror is horrible and incredibly disgusting. That being said, if we put the things in perspective, in 2015 there were over 15 thousand murders in the USA alone. That is three times the death toll of 9.11 and about 7 hundred times more than the latest world-news-famous London bridge event. And that is just the USA. Murders do and did happen everywhere in big numbers, sometimes much bigger than we can imagine. Then let's talk about the chances of accidents killing us. Completely unsafe! Right the world is not safe. But it is so beautiful. Millions of people have said today: I love you (not to me :) , at least not a million :)) to one another, millions have given a to small charity. Billions have greeted each other warmly this morning, millions have enjoyed an amazing sunrise, millions have uttered words of kindness and millions have enjoyed peace of mind because they made another one happy. So, let us be aware of this huge non-safety in our big world, but do not let the media and the politicians make our lives filled with fear and worries. Certainly I feel for the victims. The victims of London bridge, the victims of the other 15 K murders in the USA, the victims of hunger in Africa, the victims of traffic. I think we have a lot work to do, each of us, to make this world a bit better. And we can do that by being kind to more and more people every day. Let us spread kindness and love and it will slowly evolve as an epidemic, first slowly, then less slowly then a little fast until it becomes avalanche of love and kindness, unstoppable, enveloping the whole world. Wow, Tom. good poems are thought-provoking and yours here right now provoked so many thought in me. I was just writing my own avalanche of thoughts as they thundered down. :)

Sweet and short but creating an impact....lovely. :)
