OUR WORLD


Glorious is this world of ours
And the way we feel within,
Where sometimes love plants its seed
In the hearts of women and men.

Marvelous is our beautiful world
And all the heavens above.
If we would just do our duty,
Our world would be full of love.

Our world resembles a ruthless game,
Where all are eager players.
There's smiles of joy and tears of woe
With hate, lust, love and prayers.

Our world is cruel to those who feel
And a joke to those who think.
Like the wind blown pages of a book
Our years fly by in a blink.

SOMEDAY


Life on earth is a dangerous journey
As we walk down survival's road,
Fearing some day that we might suffer.
Lord, we pray you’ll lighten our load.

Our own ignorance keep us happy
For there's so much we're not to know,
Like who shall die, where, when and how
As the storms of our seasons blow.

No hope for human brotherhood
With one world, one race, one rule,
We die from too much knowledge
And the greediness of a fool.

We travel now in outer space,
All continents and seven seas.
As long as we're alive,
We’ll search for memories.

Some day there’ll be a brand new earth
Where the righteous rule, night and day.
No tears, no death, pain nor sorrow
From the world that passed away.

I sure enjoyed this, Tom.  This wonderful, beautiful world is darkended by our human sinfulness.  Each day we should practice living in a world filled with love, forgoing all the human sinful traits.  We could make at least some corners of it and ourselves better off for it.

Thanks for sharing your insights.

Tom,

I liked the positive nature of your first poem as you focused on Love and, yes, it's certainly true that life is as a vapor and passes us by so very quickly.

Your second poem was certainly worth reading again, thank you, and I do think that you've painted with your words an accurate picture here of the world condition and left us at the end with something wonderful to look forward.

God bless and, again, thank you (thank you) for sharing.


-Bob
