What About the Rest of the World

What about the rest of the world? The American Dream certainly seems like a dream If WE aren’t what WE seem to be What about what we see on the television screen Or Read in some paper or learn in school? History portrays hardships and the advancements we’ve made Yet everyone’s a slave to SOME cause Still the rich remain rich And The poor remain poor To be rich is far more than your financials Or Your assets Or Any other materialistic THING To be rich is to flourish from nature WITH Nature To be rich is to thrive from our uniqueness Not adjusting Solely Trusting that the planet and each and every creature Will survive if we aren’t petty Or Overindulgent Those without speech subtly show the beauty in collaboration How a world without worry is possible With cooperation Vegetation’s manifestation of a creation seemingly above our nation Above humans There is a hierarchy Yet we are co-inhabitants of one planet Visions of the top may be attractive But There’s just not enough oxygen to permit a clear head with clear thoughts WE are nature!
