We live in a beautiful world
So lucky we are, nature gives
but we take far too much
nature as I speak is crying.
Go for a walk away from every day life
look up into the sky, mountains a-high
breath taking soar high up on most sides
some are snow covered, others we see green.
Grass and trees fill their slopes dipping down
to valleys full of flowers and bubbling brooks.
shy animals peek out as we pass them by
around each corner awaits another surprise.
With such beauty how can we treat it so badly
we send pollution into the air, why I ask?
when we ourselves need to breath it,
is product so important we ignore the damage?
I, for one would rather see nature thriving
if we carrying on as we seem to be doing
this earth as we know it will become barren
is that what we want? I dont believe it is.
So I say lets act while we can
our world is worth saving
approach our governments
let them know this is unacceptable.
If enough of us make a stand
we can still save our beautiful world.
Look around your home and see
Your furniture, your rugs,
The pictures hanging on the walls -
Like old familiar hugs.
For every item you have placed -
Inherited or bought -
Is there to help create the space
That somehow you have sought.
We start out small, collecting
Things we like and can afford
And often there’s a goal in mind
We gradually work toward.
Our tastes may change throughout the years
But there will be a thread
Of special objects to connect us
To the lives we’ve led.
So though we may redecorate,
We’ll likely never part
With those various reminders
Which give every home its heart.
The world is a beautiful place if you know where to look.
The wonder on a child’s face or even an adults at their first trip to the zoo.
Looking through the lens of a telescope and seeing the craters on the moon.
Pulling out the most beautiful creation from the oven when you try a new recipe.
The hug from a friend you haven’t seen in a while
.
The look on your love’s face as you’re leaning in for a kiss.
Your reflection in the mirror when you realize you are one of those beautiful things too.
Look around! in a slow motion
heed the end in the making
everywhere, behold the suffering
in a constancy ascending
Global disasters...
grievous pain delivered
no one's spare from capture
living the birth of a future
Mother's angry
her wrath unleash, overwhelms
the ground we walk on
Look around in a slow motion
for in less than a wink in time
after we refuse to change our ways
will our children be the grandfathers!
of a dying civilization...
expiring in a slow motion!
In this era of me
we're all to blame
Greed and the pursuit of goods
Corruption and fraud rule...
with the beliefthat in brings happiness
when it will bring a faster dimness
No one respect '' Mother''
for no one can be bothered
to aknowledge the slow motion
of a dying civilization

There is new life everyway in the skies, trees and both in the earth and under it
Lambs skipping chasing each other then running to their mothers to suckle
Eggs cracking open in the nest chicks fighting their way out of shell mum tidy's up and beaks ever ready for food brought by dad as mum keeps them warm
Mammals barrel deep inside the warm earth born blind and often hairless.
Insects hide under bark, tunnel into holes while skin split and new forms appear
Eggs cracking wide open
lambs frolic skipping at play
split skin reveal moths
There's so much beauty in the world
And I think if we stopped
And took it all in
We'd go mad
Isn't that wonderful?
Like a rose, you began your life as a seed,
A tiny infant, taking the steps and making the lead.
Time went by, and you grew, even began to read.
You began to understand life by giving care and heed.
You faced hardships you didn’t give up but still proceed.
Your vibrancy and vitality are what this world needs.
Your assistance is needed in freeing this world from greed.
Your voice matters in the world that pessimism feeds.
You are the future hero that we believe
Come help us and make this world free.

Look around you; the world is changing fast;
as frustrations are morphing into hate.
Coronavirus has left folks downcast;
they're told to hide behind a mask or wait
it out at home, a house-arrest inmate.
If you recall, it seems, but yesterday;
that the world held so much promise for youth.
Yet, everything is different today,
and the reason why doesn't require a sleuth;
alternative realities trump truth.
The worldwide web has caught our hopes and dreams;
in the fantasy fibers of its net.
And cute emojis repress silent screams;
for thousands of friends are easy to get,
yet easy to lose; that's the constant threat.
Social media puts lies on display;
when you enter their conspiracy world.
And friends never get together to play;
they've become players in a netherworld,
a computer-generated dreamworld.
Feeling low and alone?
Tired of facing world?
Just look around
Creepy spider
Crawls up the wall
Inside your hall
Spins the web
That's tough to ebb
Outside your window
There near that meadow
Can you see those ants?
Throng to the nearby plants
Hoarding leaves when there's a chance
And on your lemon tree
A caterpillar enters into cocoon,
Hiding tears, behind blue tunes
Dreaming of rising in the moon
Can't you see?
You are not the only one
Accosting shots of life's gun
Every now and then
So whenever you feel alone
Just look around

The river you need is just beneath if you can dig below
The money you sole desire is just inside of you only if You can work it out
The heaven you desire is in you create it out
The wealth of the world is for the souls of the universe Yet the souls that think within the world never live Close to wealthiness.
Turn around to see all your dreams as they surround You like ripe mangoes waiting for you to pluck them
Look around now the soul has no color only the skin
Look around now and see the person that lies from within
Look around now hold my hand and take a look in my eye
Look around now let the fear you hold leave you and fill the sky
Look around now see the world as it should always truly be
Look around now and let who I am finally be free
Look around now
Look around now and help others that live with dispair
Look around now inspire those with thoughts and loving care
Look around now and let truth overcome the living lie
Look around now and love and be loved before you die
Look around now let hate be gone feel joy with a tear
Look around now and dont let a day without love become a year
Look around now
Look around now and know your strength
is always you
Look around now and let others see your point of view
Look around now let your feelings and voice be heard
Look around now and pray to God in heaven with your own word
Look around now and change the world for humanity
Look around now and live in love for your spiritual destiny
Look around now
Spring’s right around the corner,
and I got to thinkin, just today!
My favorite time of year,
is not that far away!
Sure, snow and colder weather
still may show their face!
But, it shouldn’t be much longer,
till they’ll both, be out of place!
Here comes, daffodils, crocuses, and tulips,
just to name a few!
Orioles, robins, and many other birds,
will be appearing too!
All kinds, of flowers and vegetation,
in abundance, will be seen!
Trees, with dew drenched leaves and branches!
New grass, growing fresh and green!
So many colors all around,
like red and green and gold!
Mother Nature’s majesty,
a plethora to behold!
Folks raking up their garden beds.
Fixing up their houses too.
What’s referred to as “spring cleaning”!
Doing things they need to do!
So much of nature’s beauty,
for all around to see!
The rolling streams and mountains,
every greening tree!
Yes, Mother Nature is an artist!
None better, can be found!
All you have to do to prove it,
is just take a look around!

Just slide along
No-one will notice
The herd is going your way
They won’t even know
When they’re not looking
Stick you head up
Look around but not too long
They might see you there
Move along don’t stop
Keep the faith
It’ll be alright
So cool.......

he is by your side
his sprit is wide
you see a growing tree
thata heavenly
you see the snow an rain
he is the pain
as it fall he is that wall
this is not a clown
he in your life apart take tjis to heart
THERE IS A GOD
LOOK AROUNDt
Look around and see
How men hustle to taste the hustle of bee
Jumping from one hive without key
To another is a stress with no fee
Depression replaces momentary glee
Look around and see
To see, remove the blocking seals
After relishing lucrative deals
Bosses bus public meals
To nurse their wards till hunger heals
Look around and see
How men smoke out bees off their hive
Creating an anger that stings Innocent's life
Which affect the simple chain of life
Now we Innocent are on lifetime strife
Look around and see
If need be, wash your eyes with soap
How men cope is with the hope
That evils lose their breaks in this slope
Before banking our honey and elope
Look around and see
How men are rejected
Little Originality not accepted
But large quantity accumulated
Even if honey is sugared or laked
Look around and see
Just look around and see
There are more to say from what I see
I aim to truncate this saddened read
Look around and see
Evil isn't Divine, it's just of our own making!
