Just my thoughts on how to make the world a better place.

As I look around the world to see what I can see,

Some things open my eyes and really bother me.

Over there in Korea they seem to be in such a mess

testing rockets and making bombs of how this makes us all so stressed.

Then we have the middle east, with all its ups and down

I just want our troops home and peace for all to be found.

Why is there so much jealousy and unrest throughout the world?

I think we should just get along and turn things in a twirl.

Love, forgiveness and kindness dealt, will change what we do see,

I want no more wars and unjust, just peace and happiness is what should be.

Technology has brought us up into space

but still world hunger has not been replaced..

My thoughts are how to do this?

How do I make them see, what with all this hatred done, the world to no one has won.

God gave us earth to cherish and treat it respectfully,

but it seems that there are some folks who just cannot see.

The pain, the death the sorrow felt, from all who fight this war,

why cant we just turn the page and go out that horrid door.

It should not matter where you come from or what your skin may be

religion should not matter too, just open your hearts and see.

Super powers are talked about and envy is all they see,

how do we escape this and bring happiness oh glory be.

Our planet was given to us to care for and the humans also to exsist,

to get along and forgive and help and hatred turned to bliss.

How much longer can we do this? No one knows the answer clear,

Please just do your part and help those in need my dear.

    If only world leaders could read your poem and act upon it the world might be a better place. Good work.

    I don’t think there will ever be peace because people don’t want to get past their own pride. That’s why you got to agree to disagree or something like that, thank you for your comment on my poem, and women can bite me if they want I might like it lol

    Nice thoughts. Children should study poems like this in grade school, then maybe they’d grow up and want to work for peace.

    Important piece – - the world can change when people truly practice the idea of: “Kill them with kindness” – - love truly transforms the world.

    Blessings.

    Sincerely,

    this is very wonderful, linda! it made me remember a song lyrics “There Are Ways
    To Get There
    If You Care Enough
    For The Living
    Make A Little Space
    Make A Better Place…”

    I’m working on it.

    Nice poem Linda.

  • Fresh Writing on Jul 6, 2009

    This was great, Linda…”Please just do your part and help those in need my dear” was perhaps the best way to end an already superb poem.

    Kind regards,
