Upside Down Scratching My Head

Fact of every day life, is in all one thought process
everything you hear, is about wars killing 
spending multi-millions on weaponary 
to then create suffering little children 
Crying poor, in their mothers and fathers arms
thrown to the wolves,they who are defenceless 
meek and humble innocent people cry in our shame

Rather than spend a lot less money on helping 
we as people should unite showing one world vow
To gather under the banner all hearts and souls 
in one with love rather than the faces of greed 
and hate tearing this planets resources asunder 
Not sharing in our planets wealth god given unto us 
an abundance of beauty the world is tainted 
At our conception, birth with us, we who have 
it all in the world at your fingertips, same right 
By god's given decree birth to share and love 
everything on our planet now that includes
our televisions, sweet nothing but pumping 
deadly poison like dark clouds drawing one sided
entering into people minds when they are at peace



13 syllable unlucky 11 syllables standing on two legs what i believe is right 12 syllables searching truth heavenly love answers, end 13 count how long will it be before time runs out lucky or unlucky smiling peace

You've had your say, Liam, and the verdict is ... excellent! Wealth is being squandered; wars favour the rich and corrupt. Is change just a dream? // paul

I find your poem very warm. The irony is that we spend billions on armaments but care little for underfed. So long such type of mindset persists we cannot expect peace.But we must be all heart to our brethren. Love is the only way. take care liam . Best wishes XXXX rajat
