Today, the world begins
with money, power and fame
to name a few of man's sins.
A world where there's glory
in defeat of another,
no heroes in this story,
only thoughts that will bother.
Nations lay scattered,
with ideas galore
Unity never mattered
as weapons do more.
A miniscule part
of the 7 billion on Earth
have surrendered to peace
a life of sweet mirth
Their ideas are woven
around their family and friends
to provide for their own
to bring simple happiness.
Where is the balance
for the greed and need
how do we decide
which path is to succeed?
Protests and news
developments in technology,
a plethora of new views
leaves me in a bed of perplexity.
A world with no pain
a sea of merry souls
will it be of any gain
to our insatiabe goals?
