This world created for us all,
brothers and sisters standing tall.
Race, religion, ethnicity,
all living in duplicity.
Don't let bigotry make you blind,
we're all a part of humankind.
To live in peace should be our goal,
no one country should have control.
For one it may be just a dream,
united, peace will reign supreme.

It's nice to see agreement with my thoughts. Many wish for world peace and somehow the controlling forces have their way keeping countries pitted against each other. People tell us to butt out of their lives. It will take millions from around the world to unite with the same goal in mind. I doubt I will get to see it in my lifetime and that saddens me. I do hope it happens for my nieces and nephews. Thank you for your kind words. They are greatly appreciated.

This is really good; penned in rhyming couplets you delivered a great message. The words you rhymed are unusual making this poem stand out.
Love,

So true that it is home to us all and the caretakers with the power are a little inept. Thank you for your kind words. They are greatly appreciated. seamaiden ♥

So right. I know our elders tell us that no one own the world but Creator.... the rest of us are partially legal alines for the most part.
Peace because that is our job here.
