This World


"This World" is a poem I wrote one day while thinking 
of all the problems we have in our daily lives around the 
world.  First touching on the loneliness one feels when 
a love has ended and pondering over life, thinking about
 the larger problems we have all around us and how are 
we to fix them?  We can start by showing some kindness 
and love in this world we all share. Kindness and a smile 
go a long way to cheer a person up and let them know 
that we can all spread this love around this planet.
Perhaps one day, things will start getting better and more 
world problems would be lessened with love and a simple
act of kindness, not hatred toward our fellow human beings.


This World


Standing at the edge of a cliff, looking out to sea
Trying to make sense of all this world around me
Love can mess you up inside and break your wounded heart
I feel as though this world we share is only falling apart 

So much hatred and anger in this world today
What happened to unconditional love, has it gone away
Our Earth is a wasteland of broken families and shattered dreams
Each day the tragic headlines just make me want to scream.

Death, destruction, war, greed, poverty, homeless people on the street
Hate crimes, suicide, rapes, murders, starving children begging at our feet.
What will it take to stop this self destruction we all face
Must we succumb to the inevitable annihilation of our human race

What can we do now to change this crumbling world that we've made
Love, respect, honesty, prayers, charity and helping one another each day
A smile, a hug, and sharing some love, isn't so difficult to do
What you choose to give out to the world, is that which comes back to you
