To whom it may concern,
I am a male Caucasian,unknown writer,and concerned citizen of the United States of America,residing in the Philippines with my family. I write mainly about mankind in poetry. PEACE for mankind is a necessity before we annihilate ourselves. Prejudice is at a all time high because of ignorance of knowledge. Everyone is to blame but nobody accepts the responsibility of change only to leave for the other person to solve. Greater is he to care for others than he to accept for self. GOD or ALLAH to blame? I think not for man has appointed himself as a GOD; to disregard morality to satisfy his own needs or wants in this world. YES mankind is unique but vulnerable to propaganda of his own making. LOVE for mankind and mercy is in order. John P. Hunter III
