Best Better Tomorrow Poems

Neighborhoods burned. Riots laid them to waste
The world is tense with racial dissension
Judgement by color leaves an acrid taste
But God offers hope through intervention

He created us with skin, dark and fair
No one has the right to question His plan
We should ask for tolerance through prayer;
and accede that we are the race of man

On God, we...

Skies star-crossed over treacherous weather
Divided voices splintered in turmoil
Hope dissolved along with burning heather
across four score and twenty summers’ soil
Yet, I have seen redemption in the street
Those in hunger offer their meager bread
Greenery brought to deserts of concrete
Contentions cooled by kinder words, instead
Hearts pump in every color, joining tasks
Over graffiti, painted flowers grow
Arthritic fingers, unasked,...

From my balcony, I watch children play;
their color blindness encourages me.
They do not let skin shades stand in their way;
playing games together for all to see.

I hear laughter with no sarcastic sting;
there are no racial slurs aimed to degrade.
As I observe these fledgling birds take wing,
my worries for our future slowly fade.

A culturally closed society

I went to the local bar in town ... 'feelin really down 
        down on my luck now ...   hard to make a buck now 
So Mr. Bartender please pour me a shot
         I wanna drown my troubles...

Goodness
Doing right things
Opportunity knocks
Sometimes when we least expect it
For one’s better angels
Allowing ways
To shine.

Virtue
A welcome trait
For high-minded living
Example for those we know who
Disregard their morals
Skirt the edges
Often.

Ethics
Will cultivate
An exemplary life
Of lasting proper behaviors
If conscientiously
Better living
Applied.

Conduct
Measuring our
Commitment fully to
A better world for tomorrow
And high-mindedness for
More love, justice
Today.

I envision a world 
free of war, where
everybody gets along.

Guns are extinct,
prejudice doesn't 
exist.

Poverty finds the cure
through the strength in 
unity.

Hunger is feed
with global intervene.

A peaceful world
united in love, as
God watches over 
us...

An the devil's army 
falls to all the faith 
in our hearts.

As we pull through 
what was thought 
to be impossible.

Made possible

****"No better tomorrow""***


Before the sun could have made its appearance,
her eyes are forced open,
with the outburst of the little one's patience;
Frustrated, sleep deprived and irritated, 
She jolts her head with the steel roof,
roof of sufferings,
covering the trek for butter and bread;
She tries to calm her baby incongruously,
She fails then slaps him for weeping,
and wonders if...

The future I believe we all shall see
is not a hopeful one, yet I will try
to think a bit optimistically!
For those of you who are afraid to die,
I write this message. There is hope beyond
this world with all its woes, and there is good
in many people. May the human bond
of friendship keep us strong in...

Man 

being humbled by an invisible virus

is now on the verge of realizing his limitations 

fact 

that would force him to admit his inadequacy 

and

make him demolish the vain edifice of superiority

that his vanity has built up throughout the millennia

thus 

hopefully, this would lead him to humility 

which

will allow Man to regulate his transient life...

Something is wrong 
from long time ago 
since Adam bite apple
from Eve's hands. 

They were punished 
and forced from the paradise, 
lately met problems, pain, tears and fears. 

They were ashamed of their own naked bodies and make clothes from leaves, 
killed innocent animals in forest 
just to feed themselves and survive. 

Blood didn't stop...

I met an old man 
while I was studying abroad.
At first I was afraid
because he seemed so odd.

It is hard to sit here 
and express how I felt. 
He didn’t have to explain 
the hand he was dealt.

If you could take a look, 
into his deep brown eyes,
you would surely see, 
how his big heart...

As jaws of hell consume our city streets
Division reigns within all fifty states
But hope for change within my heart still beats
Perhaps in your heart, too, it resonates

November ushers in a choice to make
That could, in fact, restore tranquility
Releasing blazing cities from their stake
As embers fade, we’ll find humanity

I’ve faith a new leader will take control
Eliminate...

There's no other body in this room than the soul of whom haunts my eternal dreams,
Spoken the truth of god and the word of wisdom,
You'll hear my calls calling so ever graciously across the waters and the ocean sea,
Miraculously reviving a lost love, one so sweet and pure that the roses start blooming again in...
