If the world never turned
and the tide never rose
and all of the clocks had stopped,
where would we be
what would we do
if bottoms all turned topped?

We’d have a problem,
no worry is in store...
we can’t move ahead,
nor fall behind
no need to open doors.

living life in stagnation
where nothing ever changed,
people wouldn’t learn any more
fads would stay the same.

We’d be living in a closed world
nothing really matters
creation, frustration, bigotry,
can’t you hear the chatters?

but, the world keeps turning
tides keep slowly rising
time continues on,
fads maintain changing
people are raging
what is going on?

for life is always modifying
the many ways we live and talk,
so we shift a little with the world,
a baby step becomes a walk.

That’s if:
we don’t get caught
in a circle of thought
that holds our ideas unfair.
‘cause talking up and down
riding a merry-go-round;
never gets us anywhere.

For the knowledge of the world
is locked up in our minds.
if we throw away that key,
we’d ruin it for all mankind.

So make a resolution to use your key
and through those doors shall see
how colorful life really is...
opening up your stagnant mind
to all types of human kind.
the world will be glad you did.

I am from Miami, Florida and have written poems throughout my life. Some more prolific than others. I know this site is for young poets and writers, but i am young at heart with a little more life experiences. Since we all have been locked up in our own induced prison for awhile, i thought it was about time, since i have so much of it now, to gather all my writings and share my life with you all. Topics that i cover will be, "Mother Nature" "life" "Friendships" "Love" and "Some stories and Thoughts." I have loved art all my life, especially photography and graphic art (my profession, love designing logos and studied at the art institute of Ft. Lauderdale) and ceramics. I wrestled at light weight in high school and won a national award for one of my ceramic vases. I have gone through many rough waters in my life, which one of us hasn't,? which you will read when i post them. I fantasy roll play, play card games especially Poker, and i like board games. You are welcome to follow me on Facebook if you are so inclined to snoop through my pictures and my life. https://www.facebook.com/mitchell.abrahams.77 or for my poetry page "Me Myself & i" fb.me/mrapook I also belong the the "AllPoetry.com" website. Hope you enjoy my poems
