Heart and Need are this week’s prompt words chosen by Ronovan Hester of Ronovan Writes.
Ron hosts a challenge that anyone could participate in called Ronovan Writes Weekly Haiku Poetry Prompt Challenge every Monday, and you have until Sunday to create a post featuring your haiku poem. He is an author and poet and also does author interviews and much more on his blog. Be sure to check it out. Read Ron’s Haiku Prompt Challenge Guidelines for more information.

I love people. People of all races, colors, and creeds. I don’t believe in absolutes. There are good, kind people from every race and religion, just like there are evil ones. We can’t judge an entire country or race, because of the actions of some. If we were all judged by the terrible deeds done by others of our race, religion, country––none of us would be blameless. We would all be condemned.
Evil comes in all colors, races, religions, and gender––and so does worthiness.

Let’s be kind to one another. Have a great weekend, everyone!
UPDATE:
I just received my first ever “Death Threat” for this post! The alien person that sent me the threat must be from another planet, because this post speaks of love for ALL mankind.
So true! Happy Friday, Vashti!

Now more than ever, I think. I’ve never seen this much animosity between races and religions in my life. It’s very sad and can be very disheartening. ❤

Hello, my friend! I thought long and hard before writing this little piece. I prefer not offending anyone if I can help it. But if I feel that something needs to be said, I will say it no matter what. It’s time people stop blaming entire nations, races, and religions for what a minority of people do.
Yay! I’m so happy you got The Fall of Lilith! I can’t wait to read your opinion on it, but I’m not rushing you. 😉 xx
