This world

We live in a world of such extremes

Where the rich and the poor have different dreams

The rich want to keep piling up their wealth

And the poor just anxious to maintain good health.

In a world so focused on material obsession

Where money and ownership of many highly prized possessions,

Get you seen more highly than beings who are spiritually blessed;

Or just trying to create  equality betwenn who’s got more and  whos’s got less.

It’s a strange kind of world that we live in today

Many feel isolated and afraid

Regardless of being rich or poor

Many to scared to step outside their door.

People see themselves as single individual souls

And that everyone around them is unknown,

Because we seem to have lost the feel of community 

Lost sight that we should be living in unity,

For this brings people together in a positive way

Makes life better in so many ways;

Sharing and caring for your neighbours and your friends

Leads to happiness in the end.

We live in a world that’s seen so little peace

That we cannot even possibly ever conceive,

That we no longer see this is a realistic dream,

But we have to try to reestablish the whole love thing.

And get back the sense of tolerance and compassion 

And do away with the hating that’s become the latest fashion,

Understand it is not weak to share love with you and me

Or reconnect with our spirituality.

So people take a look around you today

Decide if you feel happy with the world and it’s decay

And if are awakened and see the answer is no,

Then let’s unite together to redress the flow,

And stand up for humanity, peace and love

And for all of creation bestowed from up above,

And create a world where everyone can exists

In a time and place of better equality,

And a spirit of community and harmony

And a world where people really believe that they are free.

      1. Thanks fouxcroft for the nomination, but I am not quite good at challenges or competitions, I fly with no directions because I get distracted very often hahaha, the ADD thingy, which in fact is a good thing because it keeps me sane by taking life moment by moment. I will visit your website though. Good luck to you. I love your quotes.
