How Do You See the World

Do you see a division of country
as each nation's flag is unfurled
Do you see a fight to the death as your duty
is this how you see the world?

Do you see a union of all people
around each other everyone's arms are curled
Do you see one world under one steeple
is this how you see the world?

Do you see children seperated from their Father and Mother
as into insanity and despair we are hurled
Do you see the plight of brother against brother
is this how you see the world?

Do you see the world like me
as love and happiness in each person is swirled
Do you see how together we can make it lovely
this is how I see the world!

The Poet

I am good at what I do,and what I do is write
But now my talent has given me a fright
cause I went around town boasting and bragging
And this set the king to nagging
Seems the jolly fellow loves a good rhyme
but cannot find someone to write them all the time
Now being as I said I was the best
he is putting me to the ultimate test
now if I don't write a rhyme afore morning's first light
then it will be me that the exocutioner will smite
At first I listened in total disbelief
as he challenged me,while chewing a tobacco leaf
Now looking through the bars at the block stained red
I realize if I don't come up with a rhyme,it's off with my head
But as the sun sinks low in the western skies
my pen slowly dies.......
