Earth

What would the earth be like?
If we saw ourselves one;
If we could look past our differences-
The skin colour barrier, the languages barrier 
The poor-rich barrier, the ignorance-intelligence barrier 
If our lives didn’t have to be dictated by all these 
What would it be like?

What would the earth be like?
If we all acted as one;
Coming together to save the heritage given to us
Since time begun-
Our degrading environment 
Our animals facing extinction
Our climatic conditions that are escalating negatively 

What would the earth be like?
If we could come together;
And undertake to correct the flaws in our society; 
Conscience that has escaped us 
Corruption that savors us  
Leadership that abuses us 
The many vices that rock our individual, family, social, economic lives 

What would it be like?
If we could move our earth;
With not only our voices but also actions 
For God created one Earth and not two
And the ‘one’ He created slowly disintegrates 
Due to ill ideas, ambitions, choices and the likes 
What would it be like?
If we could try to make it the haven God had intended
