Where Do We Go From Here
By: Paul Wilson

Circle the day with crimson
from cut of belief
Turn away from reality
hide your tears of disbelief

Who shall rise up amongst us
to fight the evil one
and embrace salvation
before our world comes undone

All of our tomorrows
rest upon today
as we dwell on our dreams
of yesterday

Sing your song of regret
play your games with each other
one day the world will be no more
brother fighting brother

Mothers holding babies
husbands holding wives
friends helping each other
all fighting for their lives

I’ve seen what will be
been to hell and back again
rivers of blood flowing deep and wide
as the world sadly comes to an end

Dreams and plans wasted on yesterday
forgotten now in this battle we wage
nothing else matters but survival
the world has ended turn the page

Turn the page
Stop this rage
One more day
The people pray

"Where Do We Go From Here", indeed, Paul the Poet, where do we go from here?

There is much truth in what you have written ~ and that is downright terrifying!

"All of our tomorrows
rest upon today
as we dwell on our dreams
of yesterday"

~ All of mankind has to become aware of what is happening to Planet Earthand. Through awareness and by being pro-active, Planet Earth will be saved!

A message of great import ~ and well imparted.

Dear Paul, yes this humanity needs to wake up and finally see that only with love and respect for Mother Earth and for each other, we shall live.
Powerful write, but fear once replaced by trust and love and consequent actions will lose its gripping power.

Love and peace,
Margherita

I loved this. Your right. People should live greener lives and try to do what they can to help before its too late.

Linda...Really loved your reply. Hopefully it's not too late for mankind as we know it...Paul

Margherita...Thanks so much for reading, replying and caring...Paul

Falling Rain...I really appreciate you taking time to read and reply. Earth has taken so much abuse over the centuries, with no regard for the future and now it is in our hands to do in a few years what our forfathers neglected to do for so long.Perhaps the prophets were right and 2012 will be the end of time... Paul

Bill...Thanks my friend. Glad to be spending a little time here even though it is limited. Always nice to hear from you...Paul

James...Glad you liked this thanks for the read & reply...Paul
