A Few Words-Book 9

~A Few Words~ Let’s jump in mental streams and take a drink Then turn off the radio and TV so you can think Free your mind allowing your thoughts to wander While I write just a few words for you to ponder What if neighborhoods and houses we live in today Or the schools and parks where your children play All shopping malls and stores where you like to go Disappeared along with everything else you know What if every time loved ones leave your place It could be the last time you will ever see their face What if you didn’t have a job at a local company Because there are no businesses in your community I don’t mean to be harsh so will you please forgive But these events might happen with the way we live Destroying the land, water and air we take for granted Cutting down so many trees Mother Nature planted History describes stories that aren’t simply fables So what if countries we’ve invaded turn the tables Remember when Rome held all the wealth and power That dissolved very quickly in their last and final hour Because life is very fragile and so easily it bends And it can be reduced so quickly to dust in the winds Remember we are the children and earth is the mother So will we ever understand no man’s better than another (Book 9 ©2009 "The Journey Back to the Beginning") Will We Ever Understand? :-) God Bless My Friends...Peace
