Humanity challenge smmerwind(can do)

Can do!!
As I arise to face a new day
The governments in foul play.
Taxation is a total drain
Crime is a money gain
Pollution clouds my, cell brain
Healthcare is a crying shame
Love is a constant pain
Hatred may never end.

You ask me what I can do,
I measure life as you do to
We can't get away from it
Life is basically, what it is
I can only pursue, my own
Happiness.

Blaming, fighting, fear & pain.
We all know it, there's nothing to gain.
No sense in crying establishment blues
Hunger, disease, poverty, love, hate nothing new.
It only feeds the anger, we fuel
It's human nature, win or lose
Chose not to be like them
Love unconditionally that's your tool.

You ask me what I can do,
I measure life as you do to.
There's only so much, one can do.
When time to give,
gift with a open heart.
A peaceful demeanor,
is a pure start....

About this poem:
Change is slow. Although I (we) contribute, in our own way.
I am a realist!!!. No man is a island!! This is the world we live in....for now!!
Corruption & greed is a crucial part in how we help ,love, respect, & value one another.
Thanks for the challenge smmerwind ,,best I could do...
