Perfectly This Is My World

Now what's my perfect world?
this does make one ponder
so many things need put right
let me take you on my wander

People be respectful of each other
get back to known for smart wear
with manners being a top priority
go out of your way, show we care

In former years had good neighbours
wish that would once again return
so everyone cared for one another
no matter the cost so a good turn

But the real need of our hour
is for righteousness to reign
so that man turns to their creator
for forgiveness from sinner's pain

Never will this world be ever great
till God's kingdom on earth dwell
living out that 'sermon on the mount'
before its too late till God rings His bell

This would be my world perfectly
where peace works together with grace
showing the best could ever be
now that would be so very ace

(What would be my perfect world? So this is my answer to that question.)

Hello Gordon. A perfect world it would be if all thought in this manner. And yes, it is a perfect world because it was created by God and his love. It is some people who somehow disrespect his world and love thus can turn a beautiful day into a bad day with words or actions. It was a pleasure turning to your page today. Have a wonderful week. Keep enjoying poetry and poetrysoup. Blessings always (smile)

Dear Gordon, I wholeheartedly agree with the considerate spirit of your beautiful poem. Your golden pen spills inspiring poetry. People don't seem to have time for mutual kindness anymore, but it is what our world so desperately needs. Warmest wishes, my friend.. ~Susan

We need more people like you, in our world. Those living by Matt 7:12. This is the golden rule, and our world would be a better place if many followed this rule instructed by God. Your thoughts are so beautiful and uplifting. Many wonderful blessings to you, Gordon. :) Hugs, Brandy

Modern living has changed people and not for the best Gordon. A shame that many have become greedy and selfish turning their backs on God. More interested in the latest phones or fashion, I blame social media for a lot of it. Hope you're keeping well. Tom

Thanks Tom, completely agree with your sentiments and as you say social media has a lot to answer for. I am better keeping the weight down since being diabetic type 2 and Christine has long covid which is tiring a lot of the time. Blessings always,Gordon
