Long ago in times of old
The fate of man was foretold
When time began at the dawn of man
From one we formed groups or clans
As groups and clans we together rose
That was when the troubles arose
Jealousy, rage, greed and fear began
Evils ours and that of our fellow man
Time it passed and the Clans they grew
Evil and cruelty the worst of man did too
The wisest men of ancient times
Tried to enlighten human kind
As the centuries pass the lessons forgotten
When did man choose to be so rotten
As I observe the world we share
Wars, famine, children in despair
I ask the question why even care
The wisdom is there for all to share
Life is sacred on all the Earth
It’s written in all since birth
Taking life is not the way
A millennium ago or today
Dignity and love are free
Sharing them brings liberty
Passionate love brings positive things
Passionate hate destruction brings
Presidents, Kings, and Religious minds
Bring love to our world and save mankind
Sands and fields of grass Cities of our past
Will do none any good if they are turned to glass
Vengeance, evil, war and death
The killing of each other makes no sense
Loving and caring for our fellow man
Is the Superior plan
My thoughts shared as I read all the rhetoric and negativity happening in our world particularly the Middle East, the home of the two of the biggest Religions which profess to believe life is sacred. Both of which believe living a loving good life is the passage to ” Heaven”. In-sighting World War 3 is not the path of Righteous or good nor is there any love in the violence and destruction of another. I wonder are the prayers for the destruction of our neighbors to bring peace or are they for and in honor of good and the stopping of destruction through love and understanding, acceptance. When we talk peace do we greet with a smile and sincere heart grieved for the death on both sides? How can we do that packing guns and brandishing swords?
Thank you again for allowing me to share my thoughts in what I hope is a non offensive way expressed through art and love of my heart for all Human beings and life on our Earth that share with us. I hope we can share a smile share some love and make the change positive making our world a better place for all.
