The World from my Perspective


A world filled with argument and debate- 

Often plagued with disrespect and hate 

Of how we should fix and remake 

And what steps we need to take…

 

To rebuild the broken society we see- 

To help those in need

And while those discussions go 

We don’t really solve the issues we know 

 

It seems like a puzzle- with the pieces scattered,

Looking as if they never mattered 

And so while we try to find solutions 

We just make-up fake resolutions 

 

But there is still hope:

Those who are not willing to cope-

They pick up the pieces

In hopes the problems will cease 

 

We are inspired to follow their lead-

To heal the brokenness we see 

And these efforts are what will change the world 

Because nothing will change if no one’s concerned 

 

So even though face we a cavern of differences 

We will ignore our personal preferences 

And instead work to achieve a common goal 

To have a world-  united and whole 

 

So we can look forward to a bright future 

Filled with hope and grandeur 

I don’t know about you…

But I look forward to a world where the oceans are truly blue 

 

And the skies carry no trace of pollution 

While the world faces a revolution 

Of warless countries and unrelenting aid 

Issues like poverty and homelessness will disintegrate 

 

The landfills will stop overflowing 

And our kindness and compassion will keep growing, 

Along with our forests and trees 

Where we strengthen the common pleas 

And help all those in need 

 

One day we will all achieve this- and that’s a fact 

As long as we don’t dismiss, but instead act;

On the problems we face 

And also show everybody some needed grace 

 

Because the world could be a much, much, much better place
