Where is Our World

Is this what we have created (this was my first published)

Where is the world we once knew
Now full of loneliness and despair,
Man fights Man together in war,
But is it for a land beyond repair.

What is the future for our children,
What hope can we give them as they grow,
Into a world so cruel and full of hate,
The innocent dying, and just why, will we ever know.

People are starving, as they wait for a miracle,
A dream to end suffering and pain,
Babies born into poverty and hunger,
Thirsting for love, is it sadly all in va

This blood stained earth is all our doing,
We are alll to blame, as we carry on day after day,
This concrete jungle once so green and unspoiled,
Can it ever dear god up above…
Will it ever be that way again……..

You have done an excellent job. “In a world full of cruelty and hate.” Yes, unfortunately that’s the way society is these days with the exception of a few. Why can’t our world be like it was perhaps ten years ago? Loneliness and despair is the end result of those thirsting for love. As for babies dying of hunger and starvation, I don’t understand why mothers continue having babies if they just don’t have the adequate resources to care for them especially in these Third World Countries.

It does make you wonder. We do so much to damage our earth. We must learn to think of others more than ourselves. You have delivered a strong message here, Judi. Well done.

Judi…this is a very sad read…an incredible piece of work for being your first published piece…not hard to see why it was selected for publication. I voted that I Like It because, firstly – I do and secondly – it is most deserving
Not sure if this is a typo or a techincal glitch
“Thirsting for love, is it sadly all in va…” should be “all in vain…”
Thanks.

Thought provoking piece. I guess the real beauty of things are not of this world. Up above is the perfect place.
