The World

Mothers bear the world,
Infant beings crying for a world
Grown man fighting for the world:
Battles for food, shelter, territory and individuality: 
family life bigger than the eye-
Ones self smaller than the mind,
A twinkle in the sky:
Another idea for the primes,
False and vague to us!
But how appealing to the masses,
Decorations and beautiful speeches 
If you see through the disguise;
You not invited!
