How can you blame them Searching for a better life They understand of another world Without poverty and strife A world of jobs and riches A world of happy and sane So why shouldn't they pursue To eliminate their pain Would you search for a better life If the roles were turned around Of coarse you would because you know you could It's just normal ground So why is it we make it hard For those who know what hard is Should we not open our hearts And give that what reality really is Surely there is way That will determine their fate A lot more easier Than the way they can relate Hope is an avenue All must venture down I hope that all that seek their way Keep their direction to ease their frown .............

About this poem:
Just wishing all the people searching for a better life in this world find some form of happiness in their search ......never give up ......let hope be their driving force .....
Hi, Nuwahri61, Thank you for sharing this avenue of hope with us. Hope is an avenue All must venture down I hope that all that seek their way Keep their direction to ease their frown .............
A better world would be one in which people did not have to leave their homelands to find it. Unfortunately, the world invests so much of its resources in power-grabbing through wars. If all who would have it so would invest energy and resources within their power to help countries develop into healthy societies in which people could actually live in peace and good health (and do so without expecting to get anything back in return--except a healthier, happier and more peaceful world, of course), that would result in a pretty awesome ROI. As Lennon proclaimed, "You say that I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope some day you'll join us And the world will be as one."

In an ideal world I would fully agree.

Hope is an avenue
All must venture down
I hope that all that seek their way
Keep their direction to ease their frown .............
