Find the beauty in life

I see the beauty in humanity
In all it’s creativity
I see so much love and compassion
And the amazing benevolence
But it’s sadly shown by the few and not by the many
To me it doesn’t make any sense.
I see happy smiling faces of children
Families sharing special time
I see what we all can achieve
A wonderful world and lifetime.

But I also see the cruelty
The western imposed slavery
On poorer people it exploits
Inhumanity to it’s fellow man is not
A work of art or of beauty
It’s obscene have you seen the futility
Of those people forced into this life
Nothing about it could be described as nice.
I have seen the horrors of women and children dead
In bombed out buildings
No sign of breathe
I have seen the anguish on their faces
Caught in the moment of their death.
The same happened in Hiroshima and Nagasaki
What a nightmare history
How can a race that create such beauty
Also inflict so much cruelty
German on Jew it’s nothing new
Gone on through the history
We seem to accrue
More shame through deeds we are willing to commit
Always saying we shall learn from this.
But we learn nothing except new ways to kill
new ways to oppress and benevolence still
Takes a back seat in these woeful times
Isis believe in an eye for an eye
But all this does is leave humanity blind.

I long for the people who are filled with love
And the creative beauty bestowed from creation above
To take a step forward take a step up
Dominate this planet with benevolent stuff
To create more peace more than war
To get people desiring this more and more
To get people to share and to care
Put and end to slavery I dare.
To rise and give people the option of love
And alternative lifestyle
Spiritual enough to make them understand to want not to much
But just what we need
Then we can all trust in the belief that there is enough to go round
Where everyone’s equal
This philosophy is sound
But there are people out there invested in greed
Longing for power
Who will stop us being free
And tell us this is all a utopian dream
For the minority and for the weak.
But we know that’s not true
So let’s make a stand
Let’s all share the love
And all just join hands
As one humanity as one race
Let’s put the benevolence backing this place.
