It Has to Begin Somewhere

Accidental Poet



 Love

There at the beginning of time

From the creator himself

His original design

 

We speak of it

But not enough

Seems we’re preoccupied

Hell bent on looking tough

 

Look around you

The need never more

To end the hatred

The talk of war

 

Countries that used to be allies

Now rivals instead of friends

Defending borders

Where does it end?

 

They say love can heal all things

I believe that to be true

But it has to start somewhere

How about with me and you

 

For it lives within us

There in our hearts

Let love heal the world

Before we tear it apart

    Ah you have spoken the secret. A great poem that tells people that the responsibility lies within them. Yes the answer they hold in their hands. A poem of truth and the key to peace lies in everyone's heart. Beautiful

      How important those initial stages of germination and inception are so important and formative 🙏🏻🕊️

        We really do have the power and ability to change the world. And all it would take is Human willpower to understand it significance and impact. If it mattered enough to everyone, it is achievable all it would is the changing of people's attitude and to value humanity. Thanks for reading and your comment arqios.

          And yes, that is such a big IF. Our value appears to be on the chopping block at important segments of every human age. 🙏🏻🕊️

            We've come so far in Human history, but apparently not far enough for all of us to be mature enough think and care about each other and the world as a whole.

            • arqios

              And so the journey continues, undulating and meandering 🙏🏻🕊
