[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Pandora’s box is open
And the -ism’s are flying about
Nationalism has bitten her quite badly
Her friend has been stung by Doubt.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The -ism’s are creating schisms
Between him and me and you
Is there any remedy for this?
What is the best thing to do?[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Try and get stung by Kindness
And we may well be able to cope
Open the box again quickly
And let out poor, trapped, Hope.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

    You had me at ‘Pandora’s box is open
    And the -ism’s are flying about’

    Loved this poem, Sunder, reflects current times so well.
