It doesn't matter what age you are.
What nationality.
What country you come from.
Whether you are rich or poor.
What schools you were educated in. How big your city is or how small your town.
We all need love.
It is saddening to me,that we all have gotten away from the real reason we all are here.
I know.. There are power struggles.
Playing against each other on this invisible chess board.
What if we could all stop the..
Lies,the egos,the selfishness.
What if..
We would stop the wars,stop making the guns,the bombs,the missiles,the rocket launchers.Stop killing.
Stop making nuclear to be used in the next war?
Will there be a lack of clear judgment.
love for life. ..Everything living ?
What if..
Each and every one of us had a say so,
A letter we could all write..
What would you say?
Would you care to make the change..to feed the hungry?
Would you give your millions to the many nations, that need
to feed the billions?
Would you plant more trees and stop wasting.
Would you lend a helping hand more than you do..
Would you stop the corruption, the greed,the destruction,
Would you make a difference in everyone's life that
you meet by giving a smile,a gentle hug?
Would you stop being prejudice?
Would you stop handing out the drugs?
Would you tirelessly give to those that don't have enough
of?
Would you help build shelters for the homeless.
Would you be one of the thousands that take that animal in
off the street and give it a home?
Would you help to facilitate more equality
by seeing and feeling what is inside rather than what you
see on the outside?
Of everyone?
What if...
There was no more suffering.
No more Diseases.
No more cheating to get
to the top..
from the bottom
or the middle?
Be kinder.
Would you Join hands to make a chain around the world
while saying these words
I care?
What if....

What if it could be done, be achieved, if racism could be conquered ... Wouldn't the world be a better place for it all;
you raise some fine questions, and ones which deserve some thoughtful responses.

Thank you!

thoughtful wisdom and
for taking the time to stop by to read this

IMAGIN
This was epic....
truly well stated from a poets heart....
it is still my believe...or disbelieve....
that we don't know how to live....
and that poets and musicians and painters always bring the true hearts to what is real and good in this life.....they do the greatest healing......
your work has me philosiphying...
this was stunning lass....
well placed questions ...to me anyway...always make the poem or piece more powerful......
you have mastered that indeed little gypsy....
your comments on my work are always held in such high regard.....
and work like this is why.......
Bless your heart lass,
Liam

This reads like a statement of a perfect world and of course we know it isn't possible, but what we do know is that if everyone tried harder then we'd make a difference. Too many stand by and say I can't do anything I am one person but of course from one whisper comes another until it becomes a roar

good poem

Beautiful. This is really good. So true each word is powerful. Good luck!
Have a nice day,

Once again, I am back to comment on this beautiful piece, only this time I have the honor of judging it!!!
This write honestly strikes an emotional tone within me. So many honest and thought provoking questions!!! What if... one day it all came true? That's what I'm living for.
I loved how it tied in with the quote as well. It was a slightly different take than the way I initially wrote it, but I love the direction you took.
Good luck in the competition!

Ohhhh...I am loving this write! I am reading a book right now called, "A new Earth" by Eckhart Tolle that I think you would really like! This write shows a beautiful heart full of compassion. Exellent! Pam

Worth 10,000 points!
Would you care...
Would you give...
Would you stop...
Would you help...
Would you join hands...
Yes, indeed!!! Count me in! Let's drop the need to lay blame or accuse. We'll have to pull hard to carry the weight of those who will drag their feet.But we can do it, we must do it.
-
A great message, though I believe the blame is on all of us
I do not think one would find an answer that easy to all the calamities that befall on man
Man deserves his fate, for he has lost his spirituality and become one with matter.I am sure if all the hungry of the world were fed, then they would turn around and kill the ones that fed them
This is human nature, man is evil and greedy
and deserves what he gets.
Blessings

So interesting and thought provoking. I feel I should mention to you that weather (wind and rain) is one thing and whether (if) is another. Thank you for entering my contest.
-
Excellant!!!
The honesty and sincerity of your heartfelt words touch me deeply. They should be published some place where many people can be affected by your deep thoughts and reactive as well. It only takes one voice a cry in the darkness to light the way that others may follow. You could be that wonderful voice. I wish you much luck in the contest because this wonderful write is definitely worthy of a prize. God Bless, Jo-ann

A warm warm thanks
It really meant so much to me to log on and read this.
Thank you for the many kind words..
It is my hope of all hopes to do that very thing I'm trying to
figure out just how to do that weather it be having someone
read it professionally on you tube or try to find some famous person
to read it or get it published in a song where the mass's
could have the opportunity to hear it...
in the AM Or PM :~)
Your sweet
Love peace

I told my kids that I can only give them one piece of advice in this life, and that is "sit at the fires of gentle hearts". Such thought-provoking poetry that moves and stirs. Somehow I was thinking of John Lennon's song "Imagine".
"Be kinder" - yes...!
Thank you for this read today.

haha you SHOULD!!!! but it'd have to be mighty big to be able to read all that print... maybe use a couple billboards, you know, in consecutive order! lmao it'd def be one of my favs
-
a vivid, inspirational piece!!! i was incredibly moved by your words... BRAVO!

A lot of people give out talk, but what really comes down to everything is action. I believe you've struck a nerve in a lot of people in this peom, but I don't know how well it fits in with the contest...
-
Now this is poetry! this moved me a lot. It seems that we as people just dont care about anything but ourselves now days, to me anyway. It feels good to know that there are still people out here that care, and want change. this is such an awesome scribe, i cant even quote mt fav line because the entire thing runs together as one. well done here! I love it!
-
This is amazing. Strong feelings and worded great. Very impressive to me...
-
I love this. What option did you choose. I didn't know if "#2" was your option b/c it doesn't seem to fit it, it more fits option 4.
-
-
Sorry........
I should have chosen # 4
Thanks again for your patience.
and great compliment:~)

It would mean that mankind truly understands self. Unfortunately, mankind is too selfish to put individual need aside to join hands with another.
We have a way to go yet, but this kind of thinking will get us there.
