Anne-Lise Andresen Poet Free verse

Notes About The Poem

- Three Wishes -

Are we really willing to take the chance to change our existence 
My biggest and first wish is a world free of nuclear weapons
The future is in the hands of the enemy
"Always look on the bright side of life" (Monty Python)

I have to be aware of what I want
Thinking about the values of life and how I want to live it
Having a happy life is both a wish and a goal
Happy people live in the present
If we want to live a meaningful life,
we must first understand why we are here

The people on earth are born under the same sky
I want peace - the earth belongs to all of us

Arthur Vaso October 20, 2018 at 10:57 PM I love mixing art and poems and this is an example of it! Is sad when we see even those masquerading as poets that cant find the heart to love and not hate, it scares me when we hope of more from leaders! However the more we write, the more maybe people will see, I guess you know I loved this poem!
