A Natural Compromise

Accidental Poet



 

Just as the factual realities

That we know today

Were the future

Of distant yesterdays

 

The future tomorrows

Beyond our imagination

For better or worse

Its real, not animation

 

The writing has always been on the wall

Only which wall should we read?

For the future of the world

Not always easy to see

 

We should all know, the day would come

Humanity’s ultimate test

Prepare for the worst

Hope for the best

 

We can pray for divine intervention

Or we could hold ourselves accountable

Live together with compassion for each other

If we all try, world love is obtainable

 

For it is why we were born of this Earth

To live peaceful lives

Love and respect for all living souls

A natural compromise

    As the Hippies say AP, "Make love, Not war!"

      Good write AP.
      I'm still on this eternal search for 'tomorrow'. When it gets here, it's always 'today'. Can't fathom it out. Doh! lol.

        Oh Orchi, that reminds me, tomorrow called and left a message for you. Said you need to pick up the pace and stop lagging behind in yesterday. 😝

          Sounds like a note from 'Confused from.... dunno what town!' lol.

          Beautiful, and may I say, I hope if you are in view of the full eclipse today that you truly enjoy the magic. 🌹

            Well, I'd like to, but I don't have a pair of those special glasses to view it with. I might look in the stores to see if they have some. Thanks, Teddy, for reading. 😝

            Beautiful sentiment here AP. World peace, if only that was possible. Wanted by the majority, wrecked by a few. So enjoyed your posted music, Wonderful World to accompany your words. Have a great day.

              You have captured the trifecta of poetic perfection in this poem: incredible verse, perfect song by beloved artist and picture of hand held love. This was a delight from beginning to end, with a message that resonates through all of time. Stunning!

              • Accidental Poet

                WOW, I did all that? Thank you Bella. Always appreciate your visits. 😊👍
