From Below They Remember
Below, yes from below the ground,
As though reminiscing we remember
The World we left behind.
Stiff and solid, all remnants eaten or rotted off,
Full concentration abounds in a skull
Minus grey and white matter where left and right
hemispheres do not cross.
Fulfillment of "wars and rumors of wars",
Neuclear and Lithium used to kill
And hardly in medicine to preserve lives.
Atom converted to atomic bombs drones obliterate
The very existence of neighbors to
Love as we love ourselves!
From what we observed wile living there,
Should we actually be rulers now, yes, were we to rule
this world,
Destructive elements would be cloistered into well-guarded bins!
Notice the Patriarch Joseph gathered grains and saved for seven years.
So too, bins of useful things should not become war weapons,
But be opened and given to those who need nature as cures.
Many we saw, died from a lack of proper and affordable medical
treatment.
Language would not be a barrier,
For Teachers would teach others various tongues,
Which is a feathered cap for bi-lingual or multi-lingual ones.
If some countries repay world loans with their produce,
Food and necessities by barter trade would shift interest from
self
As the love of money could be viewed as the root of all evil.
Olimpics games and sports show that people on earth could
Work and play
Competing and marketing in a healthy manner!
Thus the sharing of gifts and talents would be duly recognized.
Were we to rule, the trading of goods, producing food for export or import,
Would be orderly channeled around a world
Where one is for all and all are one.
In this manner, poverty would indeed be looked upon as as sin.
A world under God indivisible and peaceful with
No threats to any power, for that would be
Resisting the Almighty - the Alpha and the Omega.
