World We Can Be Proud Of

In splendor of meadows gentle winds blow
As traversing high-low mighty rivers flow
And sun never sets as blue skies ever glow--
Seasons bloom there, ample crops grow
And peaceful are domains where birds roam
Devoid of trepidation from famine or foe.

Frolic in playgrounds where children laugh,
Grown-ups always walk tranquil serene paths,
Intellect prevails as wisdom outlaws wars
And across oceans extend gallant helping hands
As enduring love fuels brotherhood at large.

Divine is fortitude of eight billion strong
From all faiths, colors, cultural backgrounds
Striving in unison for solemn human cause:
To rid of what divides--seek common ground.

We trade, we innovate, we build, we believe
We share, we live, let every nation be
We learn, we educate, respect one another
We argue, we listen, and confer with honor--

Such is global paradigm of model new world.

I have all the hope. Once man stops thinking he is God himself and can fix all things. Once man thinks "he" can get his claws off the each other, animals, seas,metcola. We will do fine, Don't people know this world has an end date? It was not created to be a utopia. That's why we are so lost Regardless, a great poem. Panagiota R

Within the heart, it truly feels like there is No Hope!! Sometimes, I imagine such a place, a place like the one you have so beautifully painted. In Truth, we are surrounded by most!! "blue skies ever glow-- Seasons bloom there, ample crops grow" :) Perhaps moments aren't always like this. Yet, I smile because they are this way. And- I can embrace each one. Your thoughts always move me. ~ Brandy

Great vision Vijay on how things should be and most of us just want it that way. But first we need to get rid of prejudice, hatred and war.
