Poem of Poems

The sun will shine brighter tomorrow when
we humans shake off shackles for tribalism 
when we understand the importance of our
stewardship of our planet and it’s eco systems,
when we can exchange greed for generosity,
hate for love, jealousy for sympathy, war for peace 
then and only then can we plan for the future 
please let the sun shine much brighter tomorrow.

Jan Allison Date: 6/26/2018 8:24:00 AM we have to live in hope and pull together Roy - would be wonderful if we live long enough to see this happen:-) hugs jan xx Login to Reply Roy Pett Date: 6/26/2018 11:03:00 AM Thanks Jan, I tend to write things like this then feel so hypocritical due to knowing that I have if only in small way contributed to the problem and feel useless as we have no influence to change things except moan, (sorry for the rant) I can’t see any political will to try and change our problems. Thanks again. :(

Lyric Man Date: 6/26/2018 6:09:00 AM We cannot shake off anything until we first shake off hypocrisy! Those leading the charge for a cleaner brighter world need to begin to actually live what they preach!
