(Poem 125 for 2024 – I am writing a poem a day)
There always seems to be someone who hates,
whose resentment fills their soul until nothing
else can fit and the surrounding world must pay.
Everyone who endures suffering must decide
whether to heal or hurt, a weighty choice, for it
affects the fate of your trajectory henceforward.
In matters of the heart, as in matters of state,
humanity should remain centered in our judgment,
and the resulting actions must be measured
carefully to create the least harm to all involved.

A beautiful poem. I really enjoyed reading it as a huge fan of the POTA franchise. As a fan of the franchise, I am looking forward to seeing the latest film which is currently playing in theaters. Andy Serkis set a fantastic standard with the original trilogy through his groundbreaking use of motion-capture technology. He was a major reason these films worked so well. So, I’m curious to see how the latest film turns out in his absence. Recently, I had a chance to see “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes” and absolutely loved it. Here’s why I loved that movie:

Nice review. There does not seem to be a way to leave comments, but I can like it. I did not enjoy Dawn as much as Rise, but still appreciated the storyline and acting.
