| 3rd Spot | Regrets of the Past by |
|---|
A past decision over which someone remains conflicted, leaves him in confusion and immobilized. Though we know at a rational level that something ought to be re-framed in order for our progress, it remains our emotional side which can leave someone unable to move on.
A past decision,
He can't leave behind.
| 2nd Spot | A Better World
by |
|---|
This poem takes a very positive stance, the speaker urging us to go on an make those much-needed changes to the world. The first two verses are a rhyming pair, followed by two stanzas of three verses each and two more comprising four verses tightly conforming to a rhyme scheme.
So harvest to our heart's content
As long as we have the right intent
Sinners, now's the time to repent
Devoid the heart with contempt
| 1st Spot | Samaria by |
|---|
This poem presents similar sad situations, in different places in the world. These scenarios play out differently from the manner we may predict they will. Those familiar with the history of the capital city of the northern kingdom of ancient Israel, will quickly identify the Biblical allusions here to the ancient ethnic bias against the Samaritans. The poem strikingly has us considering questions about the world, the way ethnic bias and preconceived notions play less of a role in actual human actions, than human character does.
