Revelation 21: 4, five.

There is most certainly a better world

There must be

A world where there will never exist

The sort of wickedness that leaves mankind

Remorseful, worse for wear, and remiss

As we spin about on this indigo pearl

There will most assuredly one day be

A perfect place

Peaceful, pristine, where every wish

For a world of wondrous purpose and combined

Will be given to man and woman as a gift

For the fatherless child, both boy and girl

Some may ask how really can I be so sure?

That part is easy

Because God has told me and promises this

That if we seek earnestly, then we shall happily find

There will be no need for a bucket or a list

Just wide open arms to grab hold as the blessings unfurl

    Jerry, with all due respect, if we don’t make this world better, there won’t be a second chance.

    Very good. It’s nice to see the two poems you wrote on here today.

    Leo, I don’t subscribe to sitting on one’s hands. However I do believe that we would be doomed without God who will very soon intervene on our behalf.

    To put faith in man to fix the world’s ills is fool hardy.

    If you have a bible read Jeremiah 10:23. We have had thousands of years to get it right and yet here we are still screwing the pooch.

    Lovely Honey and PattiAnn, thank you.

    The perfect world with no pain is what I long for in this world and next… The world with utmost joy and happiness with a promise of a brighter tomorrow…

    With the Creator by our side, we will always be able to follow the mission and change the world, by infusing thoughts that would help create a difference in the lives of others…
