Poem
The World we Live in As from the window i look out Killings and maiming Can they all be devout What religion, has the right to say Who lives or dies's on any given day Whether Islamic or Hindu, Catholic or Christian If there are these Gods, they sure ain't listening This World we Live in Has seen horror's aplenty From alleged leaders, not quite so saintly. As they led their killers, to rape and pillage In many countries, and many a village Leaders like Hitler, Pol Pot & Stalin Order their Generals, don't pity the fallen Murderous rages, in cities and towns Women and children, the elderly mown down What do we see in our public life Similar scenes, but not so rife From Columbine, Dunblane & Hungerford past Will there be enough of us left, for us humans to last As i look out my window, what us humans should see Is The World we Live in, and live violence free Who has the right, to slay a neighbour or friend Simple sanity, or plain round the bend I really don't know how to resolve the above Man's inhumanity, and turn it to love The journey of change, has taken a turn Due to the appointment of Obama, where we will all learn The explosion of vote, for the new President above Is what the world needed, to give it a shove Out of all the people i would most like to meet This guy heads the list, shake his hand as we greet And what i mean, from these words above He has the Aura to turn, loose the white doves With the help of the leaders, who think the same way Will make this World safer, for Generations one day So in the future as i read this again There will be much compassion, and a lot less pain The World we all Live in, will work rest and play Generations living, as they should - every day http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/life.php
