Misguided Power
Misguided Power
My mind is at a precipice of peace and revolution
In a serenest of its own, bringing together the powerless
and the powerful nations of poverty and prosperity.
Countries at war purely on the thought of man’s principles,
testosterone, masses of land and water, weaponry and
idealisms trying to start a new world order.
Country leaders of dictatorships, democracies, monarchies,
with populations living in poverty with fingertips on the
buttons of technology that can destroy all humanity.
Leaders talking loud and proud, posturing and threatening a show
of power, a threat of doom, winning small battles, refusing
to discuss different solutions,
refusing to back down and give in to better resolutions.
Stepping up are our young new leaders of formidability with
fresh ideas, perspectives, insight of life longevity to keep
the earth clean and green with no thumbs on bombs.
Nations across the land sit down at the table to discuss, the
perils of the world at hand, poverty, diseases, genocides, earthquakes,
tsunamis, floods, starvation, slave trade and illegal military raids.
These young leaders wake up the true conscious of man
to solve the problems across the land, by caring, freeing,
feeding, giving help, hope and understanding the problems at hand.
