A Small Thought

Why does everyone act so fine?
Think that the world is so divine?
Why is everybody so hurried?
Pretending all their grief is buried?

Get up!
Open your eyes,
See the world
From a different side,

As we get bathed in
Glowing blue lights,
Some people are
Fighting for their life.

Love turns to hatred
Families get separated,
People die
While children cry,

Come on, Let's stand together,
take flight like a feather,
Fight before it's too late
Before corruption determines our fate!

Thanks for sharing this. Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." God bless you.
