Humanity's End                    2/9/96        Rodney C.  Walmer


It takes us by surprise
Slowly entering our lives
Wearing many a form
Sometimes it hides
Behind a disguise  
  Of hurt and anger
Through labels it will justify
Acts of inhumanity
Through prejudgment
   It will generalize
Breeding the insanity
Through generalization
 it will intensify
   In popularity
and though it may grow
   In intensity
it will spread 
   In density
In ways we can stop it
 Instead, we readily adopt it
Then, when someone dies
 in the madness
 Everyone cries in the sadness
 about issues of equality
But, the solution to this cancer
gets lost in the pollution
 of it�s rhetoric
and in the end
we all have to answer
to the damage created 
Not, by those who were hated
But, by the hatred.....

(c) Rodney C. Walmer  2/9/96

     Hi all. My site has been up for many years now. It has grown nicely.
   I have been able to put many of my poems out there for all of you to see. 
   I have received some wonderful responses to my writing. Thankyou all. It
   makes me feel great to find people who enjoy my work. 

     A little about myself. I am a seventh grade math teacher, with a wife
   and daughter( Mari Beth, 9 years at this writing). I am a 
  computer nut, as most of us are these days. I developed this website out 
  of a response from many friends, to send them copies of my poems.  I felt 
  it was unfair to make them wait, so instead I decided to place my poems 
  here where they would always be available to everyone.
 
     Often, I can be found in irc on #coverups with many people whom I am proud 
  to call friends. These are people I have gotten to know on a very personal 
  level over the last year or so. I can gladly state they are Truly good people. 
    
    So, please, enjoy the site, visit as many poems as you like. Please 
  remember to sign the guestbook before you leave, it is just a little 
  ways down the page. Thankyou, have a wonderful time.
