Good People of Earth

GOOD PEOPLE OF EARTH Where are we heading With this mayhem, destruction, and killing Is this what we call a civilized society A look to the future can be chilling GOOD PEOPLE OF EARTH I know you're out there You outnumber these maniacal tyrants Let's band together, stage our own uprising Make love a life long commitment GOOD PEOPLE OF EARTH The time has arrived To rise up with a mighty big roar Multitudes of us normal law abiding folks Ain't taking this bull crap no more GOOD PEOPLE OF EARTH Hear what I'm saying It's time to turn things around Can't allow this debauchery to continue Let joy and happiness abound © Jack Ellison 2012

"A look to the future can be chilling" isn't that so? Only so much we can do here, playing our parts. This one's invigorating. "Make love a life long commitment" - certainly words to live by. Always, Laura

A-Men. Jack it is indeed time to turn things around. I like that statement. I believe as well. This is a great poem with great meaning. It is awesome and goes way beyond the point. It reaches out, and I love it. Thanks for sharing jack.

Deep sighs from someone who saw so many people trying a lot of wonderful ideas... and got nothing at all but brutal moquery and misery... But Hope is still there and will always be! Thanks for ex-pressing it in such a stylish way, dear Jack! Blessings, Hanitra

I like this poem a lot, the world is doomed when good men and women choose to do nothing.

I roared once but the only thing that happened was my bunnies took off on a run. Must not have done it right... So now I just nudge them with a poem... OOOPPPs... There go the bunnies again... I guess they're not into poetry either...LOL!... But when I finally write my book the whole world will sit up and listen... or probably run with the bunnies...LOL!
