I am tired of living between two worlds…
and most of the time being confused!
A world where some children are surrounded by love
while others are abused.
A world where some people have more food than they can eat…
while others search for meals in dumpsters on the street.
A world where everyone knows how valuable Earth is to our existence…
to the future of our children…to their wishes, hopes and dreams
while some people callously pollute the land, the sky,
the oceans, the rivers and the streams.
A world where some people pray to Gods who encourage them to love,
to share with everyone they meet…and our diversity to celebrate…
while others in the name of their Gods sow prejudice and hate.
A world where some people declare how every life is important…
every person born…a gem…
while they turn their backs on anyone
who doesn’t look or pray or believe…or act like them.
A world where leaders assure the world, it is peace they’re searching for
while they drop bombs on innocents, arm their children…
and send them off to war.
Yes, when I look around it saddens me…and I find it so confusing…
to see the kind of world some people have been choosing…
And so I pray for the day when across our world…
love into every life will be infused…
when kindness is everyone’s first thought when they meet someone
and I will no longer be confused.
