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. August 12, 2019 Placed 1st: Choose your own title, vol. 7-songs Sponsor: Edward Ibeh; Song: I believe-Era

Isn't it nice to at least dream of an ideal world..all big things begin with a dream. While this poem is an interpretation of the contest song...the world is capable of achieving greatness. As always, your analytical prowess shines my friend..much appreciate Besma--many thanks. And a special thank you for the FAVE. God bless! Regards!!

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

Yes--indeed--the world is beautiful and magnificent. It needs every citizen to be like you to bring about harmony. Much appreciate your thoughts, Pixie--many thanks.

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.
