Tranquil Thoughts of Tomorrow

Accidental Poet



 

One man laughs

While another cries

Then they may trade places

Everyman has lows and highs

 

The secret to life is

There’s no secret at all

Just play the game

And share the ball

 

If we see through each other’s eyes

We see different points of view

And maybe then the newspapers

Will print more pleasing news

 

Had we all a common foe

Then we might all band together

But why do we need a foe

Can’t we just trust each other

 

Man’s footprints on the Moon

Robots exploring Mars

Yet we can’t seem to co-exist

Instead, we inflict each other’s scars

 

We’re not here on Earth

To fight and quarrel

But to see peace in our future

And global compassion morals

 

I might lose myself

In tranquil thoughts of tomorrow

With hopes that we all can come to terms

And lessen each other’s sorrow

 

So, I’ll give my all

To a new found faith

That somehow, we’ll all learn

Not to follow an evil wraith

    Good write AP.
    I'm confused again - When is tomorrow? When it gets here, it's always 'today!' lol.
    And is it half past Winter, or a quarter past Spring now?

      aah, as I look at the clock, its 3 quarters to Fall Orchi. 🤔

      True words AP, if only we could all work together.

        Man’s footprints on the Moon

        Dear A.P this stanza could actually stand alone it's massive and very beautiful throughout 🌹

          Some excellent points made, AP. Very well done. And your comments about the moon, when we're fighting here, just nailed it.
