Cathedral
Make your home a Cathedral.
build it high and strong.
Fill it with people
from all over the world,-
laughter and happiness.
Stop them who wants to intrude
with a negative outlook on life
prejudce, suppression
or even hate.
Make the people inside blossom
with all their colours and shapes
smal, big
rich, poor
black, coloured, white
blind, seeing
.......................
Can you all see
how beautiful we are?
In response to "Cathedral" by Raymond Carver.

Very good Marita.
I especially liked the first part where you compare family life to a strong cathedral with a laughter and happiness.

I liked your poem. I think you point at a very important topic for our time; racism. We hear of horrorstories around the world, and people get afraid of each other. I think your poem is a tribute in the right direction of opening people's eyes. Keep up the good work:)
