Earth
What would the earth be like?
If we saw ourselves one;
If we could look past our differences-
The skin colour barrier, the languages barrier
The poor-rich barrier, the ignorance-intelligence barrier
If our lives didn’t have to be dictated by all these
What would it be like?
What would the earth be like?
If we all acted as one;
Coming together to save the heritage given to us
Since time begun-
Our degrading environment
Our animals facing extinction
Our climatic conditions that are escalating negatively
What would the earth be like?
If we could come together;
And undertake to correct the flaws in our society;
Conscience that has escaped us
Corruption that savors us
Leadership that abuses us
The many vices that rock our individual, family, social, economic lives
What would it be like?
If we could move our earth;
With not only our voices but also actions
For God created one Earth and not two
And the ‘one’ He created slowly disintegrates
Due to ill ideas, ambitions, choices and the likes
What would it be like?
If we could try to make it the haven God had intended
