Poem
A WONDERFUL WORLD One of my favorite songs whenever it's sung, "What a Wonderful World" is right on my tongue. The melody's fine and the lyrics are great but other thoughts sometime get to me and make my heart ache. Louie Armstrong sings it best. He's way ahead of all the rest. But is the world really such a wonder? It makes you stop and then ponder. They quickly say the world is warming but we can't say it was without warning. Climate change affects the weather And that doesn't make things better. For the trees of green and red roses too may not bloom as Louie sings it to you. We'll have droughts and floods and skies not so blue. The clouds of white are not so bright as storms brew over the lands. And the shaking of hands seem to be more of fright as the winds stir up the desert sands. We have "Arab Springs" and children are shot and babies will cry, "please forget me not." As the world seems to ache from these things we forsake for the love that we seem to have forgot. The world is quite full of 6.5 billion and the people starving are more than 6 million. Can that make it a wonderful world? The friends who shake hands and say, "How do you do?" are they really saying, "I love you?" The song says so but we really don't know if they truly mean it or it's just for show. But when we consider all things about how the world really sings and always ends up with a smile, we know somehow the world will get by as long as we give it a real try. The world has been here for such a long time and somehow has survived no matter what sign through storms, earthquakes and more. People live on regardless of any war or disease that is other than benign. Because no matter what dread it can really be said it is still a wonderful world. And Louie is right as he sings with delight of rainbows and bright stars in the night. The message of the song is very profound and with a little patience the world will rebound. So even if it seems so imperiled, indeed, it is still a wonderful world.
