THE WORLD I SEE
48I wrote this when I visited my family in Lebanon
THE WORLD I SEE
ALL THE PLACES- ALL THE FACES
EACH ITS OWN UNIQUE BEAUTY
CREATED FROM ABOVE
DIFFERENCES UNABLE TO UNITE
WHY IS IT THAT ONLY NEGATIVITY HAS TAKEN FLIGHT?
ALL THE DIFFERENT PLACES
ALL THE DIFFERENT FACES
GAMES BEING PLAYED WITH HUMAN LIVES USED AS BARGANING CHIPS
THE OUTCOME DOESN’T REALLY MATTER
WITH EVERY TRIUMPH AND WITH EVERY DEFEAT
OUR HUMANITY SEEMS TO FADE FURTHER AND FURTHER AWAY
ALL THESE DIFFERENT FACES
AND ALL THESE DIFFERENT PLACES
SOULS ARE FOR SALE AND INNOCENCE IS A VIRTUE LOST
AND THERE IS NO RESPONSIBILITY TO BE HAD
EACH UNIQUE BEAUTY
CREATED FROM ABOVE
DIFFERENCES UNABLE TO UNITE
I ASK MYSELF WHY IS IT THAT ONLY NEGATIVITY HAS TAKEN FLIGHT
SO MUCH HATRED AND SORROW TO BE SEEN IN THEIR EYES
NO TIME TO RUN AND NO PLACE TO HIDE
ESCAPE IS NO LONGER AN OPTION
THE TIME HAS COME FOR THE GREED AND CORRUPTION TO END
CHANGE IS THE ONLY HOPE
IT IS NOW TIME FOR ALL THESE DIFFERENT PLACES AND DIFFERENT FACES TO BLIND THEMSELVES FROM THE SUPERFICIAL
THE DIFFERENCES THAT DIVIDED US IN THE PAST SHOULD BE FORGOTTEN FOR NOW WE MUST STAND TALL AS ONE

Nice, poem. There are places to run and hide though, you may just need some one to tell you how to find them. Best wishes.
..I love your sentiments here - they are truly worth living up to everyday of our lives ....and it has added meaning when they are viewed with poetic eyes as beautiful as yours!
We are all one. Somehow we have to "get" this. The law of all religions has to start with the Golden Rule. "Love thy neighbor as thyself." - "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." This law is a part of all religions. Great hub!
A great message to all of us who are all different in many respects but share one special common denominator - that is we all belong to humanity - so we should aspire and try much harder to be united in developing and promoting a more peaceful world so that our children may one day inherit a world of love for each other rather than be divided by hatred in their hearts.
Thanks for sharing this excellent message.
