peace

Author: shadow1950

we never learn
always at war
fast to judge
slow to do good

what a state
I am not wise
no answer I have
the sun circles

moon waxing
then waning
life marches on
tides ebb and flow

yet we don't learn
negativity breds
very bad vibes
time for change

we need a seer
a prophet, a healer
maybe a magician
to wave his wand

peace, and serentity
please flow to us
let it heal and tend
our troubled world

My dear friend Shadow, a very inspiring state. First the exposure and acknowledgement of the sad but very vivid corruption of our world. And the wish to have a magician to help us mend it. But I know in our simple but positive ways, we are creating a pool of united effort to start the healing and mending and perhaps we will make a difference.

Love it

what a state
I am not wise

Hello Shadow

I must contradict you, you are indeed wise in expounding this humanitarian philosophy. Life would be so much better for everyone if all the world's people could (or would) embrace the principles you list in your poem.

Best wishes
