The dreams of our forefathers
Some realized, some lost
Now distant descendants
Hold the everchanging cost
From barbaric cavemen
Came the birth of greed
Men fighting over a fresh kill
To satisfy their hunger to feed
Fast forward forty thousand years
Man has learned compassion
To care for each other
A relatively new found fashion
But evil greed rises
From the abyss of hell
Infecting millions
For those with souls to sell
To disrupt the masses
Spreading despair and pain
But the good men of the world
Refusing to give up reign
In the end
Love will conquer evil
As it was written
All men are equal
To stand up for humanity
That all the world should prosper
To live and let live
A plan all men can foster

“But the good men of the world
Refusing to give up reign” –
Ain’t that many: ‘reign’ in this context means power.
‘Power’ means control. That’s something all good men want?
That’s it! Love will get rid of the buggers….
In this context, love IS power, and love is the cure.
A fine write AP.
Unfortunately, as I see it, man (mankind) has been the same since Adam and Eve.
They got greedy, we could say, in eating of the one tree they were forbidden. I suppose they ate of the other 99 or so permitted trees too.
Thanks Orchi.
WOW, a truly great poem. I found this inspiring. Our world is dominated by the greedy few who believe they are entitled when so many who are ignored by our media are in genuine desperate need.
And who are they to bestow entitlement upon themselves? Thanks for reading and your compliment Andy. ; )
Right-on. If only we could educate ALL hearts to your way then the world would be a more beautiful place.
Thanks da.
Very true words AP, the Hippies had the right idea, make love not war.
You have made the start of my day so wonderful - The Moody Blues are one of my favourite groups, I have all their albums. So I know that today my 'lost' world will be wonderful.
Andy
Thanks Andy. The Moody Blues are my favorite band, I've seen them live about 8 times I believe. I'm glad I could start your day off so wonderful. ; )
Sadly wonderful gist of the human behaviour and mind. Thanks
Thanks for the read and comment subregi. ; )
this is a war cry: decorated, as a Poem!
we must Fight, till the very end
and never
let the worst of what we can, become
dictate the Who
of what we: Choose, to become!
Love is the way to the future we can live with. Thanks LB. ; )
