A Wish For the World

A normal person craves equality, but how can things ever be fair when so many people are lazy and others are filled with greed? Poverty goes hand in hand with ignorance. These problems seem much too big to be solved. A moral compass is needed by all! I can only wish for parents to teach love to their children and to lead by example. Only when the family unit is strong can there be a world where things will at last be fair. June 3, 2022 For Anoucheka Gangabissoon's 'if Only My Wish Would Come True" Contest

Dear Andrea, your kind heart is at work again. Oh, if only all could have a strong family unit. If not, then true grit. The drug problem, by itself, is over-powering. What a mess we've become. Congrats on your win and your caring.

“I can only wish for parents to teach love to their children and to lead by example.” this is the answer Andrea. A great entry that will probably be on the winners list my friend. Blessings xxoo

If only, Andrea, i can't believe how many enjoy disharmony, the greedy ones call it competition, but even that's not fair any more. Love the shape of your poem, and it's contents.

Andrea, your message was brilliant, and your approach was outstanding. I share your aspirations for a prosperous future. I honestly can't tell how preferable our world might be if it was built on morality supplied with a true ethical perspective. Good luck in the contest.

Your wishes for a better world ~"a moral compass is needed by all", a line that resonates with me~if only everyone was given a true moral compass what a better place this world would be. Good Luck in the Contest. :)Paulette

You would be surprised to know how many people don't know what love is.
