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
