Loyalty

These two poems illustrate that a world without loyalty is also a world without love. Whether the nourishing bonds between parents and their children or the ethereal connections between the millions who inhabit societies, loyalty to one another is at the crux of vibrant lives and stable democracies. We can't let the powerful teach our citizens that placing yourself above all else is wise and that greed is a virtue, without countering that loyalty is prized by the many for its ability to make the seemingly impossible come true, both in our private lives and within nations. It all begins between parents and newborns, with moms and dads recognizing and responding to their children's needs. No adult-only content.
