A mass of children
spin their threads
into a blind web
that drums with power
until
one
voice
insists,
Think, people!
We
are
not
the
same

those are some profound words, well done!!
for once i like the photo used, then i noticed it is getty so that makes sense. i agree with Debbie on the well done.
Add my voice to the others!
so very much to the point- especially now
No, we are not all the same.....thank goodness. What a dull old world it would be if we were all the same.
Hello, Delores above is so right on, the world would be boring if we were all the same. Well done, I like the photo too. Happy Sunday, enjoy your new week!
powerful statement in your lines
Yes we need to THINK....very profound!
Gail, this carries a a strong message and makes one pause to think..
A lot of depth in this piece :)
Well penned.
Lots of love,
Sanaa
Yet more alike than we are different, under the various cultures and ideologies. Well said!
That is so true. If people would just think for themselves instead of going with all the media hype and scaremongering they would feel a lot better.

We need those that dare to walk the other way...
Indeed the words "Think, people" should be listened to & followed. Thinking seems to have gotten lost in the blind following.
I like this very much!
I love that voice that sets everything so clear!
Really like the photo and the words. Although we are each unique and individual, there are always points of similarity. I like that voice that calls us to think,

Good job, Gail. :)
Nicely done !
Everyone's should be heard not just one. Very pertinent post.
Powerful Gail . . .
This is written beautifully, Gail, and Sherry's comment really resonates with me :-)
ah yes thinking makes us different and human...well said...
Superb take on the prompt
WOW, that is very profound and very timely. Nicely done!! I'm going to have to give this a try sometime.
That was quite a challenge, and you really pulled it off! Well done, my friend.
=)
Fine response to the prompt.
It only takes a single brave voice to tilt the pendulum - i am always grateful when that voice emerges and sniffles things up a little...equilibrium can be dull - and i love the photo too!
By which i mean shuffles- not sniffles!
Jae Rose, Berowne, Dee Dee, Sumana Roy...Thank you.
Two words ...
'Absolutely brilliant'

Exactly Gail! Space ought to be given to encourage them.
