Change One Thing
Listen to poem:
Written: March 04, 2024 For Tom Woody Contest
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If there was one thing I could rearrange,
In this vast and mysterious range.
I would heal the scars of rivalry and distress,
And shine a light on progress and its success.
If there was something I could do,
To modify our view of the world anew.
We judge, detest, and fear things too fast,
And failure to grasp a benediction seems shaft.
We're quite conscious of our dichotomy,
And fail to realize that we desire autonomy.
We must collocate to avoid extinction,
And strive for a world free of any affliction.
I wish we could suggest a single word,
I'd identify "kindness" as syntax is blurred.
As humans, we all share similar dreams,
Welded world without walls, warm streams.
A simple act, a smile, a hand extended,
A world where judgment is suspended.
We will handle any situation with care,
We might have had enhanced prayer.
We'd gaze upon life with each other's eyes,
And we would recognize our shared advice.
One nation would reunite across one Monde,
We ought to live in peace and love, under God.
I'd sing of oneness in all voices at every age,
A song pledged to shatter every stage.
No further strife, no longer hate,
Just a symphony of love, sealing our fate.
If there was just one dream to come true,
I'd dream of a world where dreams renew.
Where every child can laugh and play,
And hope shines brighter every day.
