This Troubled Realm-Written With Frederic Parker
This Troubled Realm-CoWritten with Frederic Parker
When the depth of our soul embraces kindness
and is tethered to wisdom, this truth we learn...
only our hearts can free our own blindness
for it is a world of peace for which we yearn.
A place where no one has reason to shed tears,
an Earth in which the needs of mankind are met
and we live our lives without sorrows and fears.
Each day brings us happiness instead of regret.
The world around us is a creation to behold,
where days and nights exchange shades of light.
We stand in awe of it and grow ever old,
exposing our frailties that we constantly rewrite.
Mortality is a battle we can never hope to win
but we should aspire to share our world in accord,
striving to live together as a brotherhood of kin
with profound unity wherein no one is ignored.
In this troubled realm we call home, a wish for peace
that it can be as beautiful as our minds perceive,
creating a wondrous society in which hate will cease
and bring to fruition what our dreams conceive.
We can all be dreamers. It's there, within our reach
if we treat each other with respect and amity.
These thoughts I offer you so that we may teach
each other how to find peace. A lesson for humanity.
*My sincere thanks to Frederic for sharing his poetic talents
with me to write these verses that would lead us all to live
in a better world.
