Hope in a Child’s Eyes.

Whispers in the night calling for the fight,

Freedom is what they say

Blessed freedom will come our way,

That is what they pray

Too many wars and too many battles,

No with true just cause.

Harboring grudges,

Like a kitten with viscous claws

Innocents dieing on either side,

Tell me where this is right

What right do we have as mortal men to carry the weight of the world within?

To create hate were we should love?

To believe in no God of any kind above,

To lose ourselves within this hate

True sorrow is what should fill our plates,

We are all humans with the same ended fate

It matters not what we believe in,

Nor how we look within our skin

We all long for the same freedom

A world without war,

Now that would be something to see,

Somewhat of a dream to me

I do no clam to understand it all,

But I know in time with war we will be our own down fall

Brothers killing brothers all because of differences in faith,

Honestly tell me what kind of sense does this make?

Are we has humans still so closed minded and blind,

To what end this type of thinking can bring

To end the world with love or with hate,

Those the choices we have to make

To end with hate we will destroy ourselves,

To end with love we create a new world with no sorrow on our plates

No man nor woman can carry the weight of the world in just one hand,

It is time to slowly open our eyes before someday we all die

To remember this world through perhaps in a child’s eyes,

Those so innocent if we look hard enough we can understand why

Love, hope, and peace for the world is hidden,

Hidden within a child’s eyes.

    As well as being a really lovely poem it talks a lot of good sense!

    Especially this bit: ‘It matters not what we believe in,

    Nor how we look within our skin’ fantastic, promote this poem well, I think all should stop what they are doing and read.

    Well said about the world in which we live; torn by senseless wars, hate and selfishness. An excellent post.
