This anthology is a collection of the work of various poets from all over the world. By reading these diverse works, we hope that people will become more understanding, compassionate, and empathetic towards all people. Additionally, we hope that this poetry makes the deepest kind of personal impression upon its readers.Those whose works appear in this anthology have decided to publish their poetic works under a title published by PoetrySoup and Arczis Web Technologies, Inc. Special permission has been obtained for each copyrighted poem in this volume, and the right to publish has been explicitly given to the publisher of this anthology by the respective poets. While most of the poems within have been submitted by the poet, the editors of this publication have chosen which poems to include. Over 1600 poems were submitted, but only around 600 were chosen for inclusion.In this anthology, which is the first one produced by PoetrySoup.com, we have followed an arrangement that represents some of the more popular poems on the PoetrySoup.com website. Instead of an arbitrary selection by PoetrySoup's editors, each poet member has been permitted to represent himself by the work he considers his best, with few stipulations. PoetrySoup editors then decided what should be printed and what omitted, but, as a general rule, the poets have been allowed absolute freedom in their choice of inclusion.
