Sam, would like to share this with you.....Once Lord Buddha with a couple of disciples was walking down a street, suddenly a man started hurling abuses at him, this agitated the disciples very much but Lord Buddha kept walking camly. Later when his disciples asked if he had not heard what that man was saying, Buddha replied 'Yes I heard but I did not receive what he was giving. you took what he gave, hence this suffering.Your poem is so good, as always.

Sticks and stones may break my bones...

Excellent and very well said

True compassion allows for freedom of expression without a hint of contolling another's thought, words, or lifestyle.  There is harvest for the seeds we sow. I'm sure your's will be beautiful flowers that spread across many fields. Extreme attempts to control another's life and thoughts through judgement is a karma most would like to avoid. I believe our directive is to judge not that ye be not judged.  As always, continue to
