How Beautiful This World Is

How beautiful this world is
How charming everything seems
Oceans, deserts, breeches 
mountains, Forests and fields

Every bit is so pleasing
At peace
Air, water, fruit and all our food
So yummy, so tasty
We live together
With everybody
We are so content 

But earth is only half lit
Each day is followed by Night
We live in fears 
Fear of losing a loved one
Fear of losing health or wealth
Fear of winter
Fear of death
Or of being left alone

Fear of going too far
And forgetting our way back
Or fear of them going away
Fear of rain, and of earthquakes 
Of scorpions and snake
And of an enemy whose integrity is at stake

Look with an eagle eye
And world is beautiful 
But look closely with a discerning eye
It is nothing but we live in fears and worries 

May it never gets dark
May sun shine on every side

It is beautiful... But some people make it ugly...
