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

    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!
