ONE WORLD
OPPOSING THOUGHTS
I awoke to a radiant dawn
Pink and Blue sky over the hill
Heralding the peace of this day
Clear, quiet time so still.
And yet at the back of my mind
Arose thoughts of men at war
with those with skin of a different hue
Different religions wanting more..
Bound in egotistic thoughts
Rather than Love and Charity
Unable to see beyond the tethers
Of ritual and creed, fear and no clarity.
I shed a tear for the planet
A wonder in itself, but unseen
By many men of the world
Who just cling to their dream
Of their own small thoughts
Which come to naught
In the whole picture of the scene.
My brothers and sisters of the world
There is no divide
Only what you make inside
Your own minds, your own creeds
Listen to your conscience
Consider the World's needs.
From the quiet stillness
Of this glorious day
I pray that man lives what is true
True to himself to find a better way
True for the World
Unfettered by religion and hate
Progressing forward, Free
To form a more peaceful state.
