If ‘All the world’s a stage’
And “All the men and women are merely players”
Why do so many of them play bad people?
This stage that we live on could be glorious.
So much is in this world,
Enough for all,
But no, some want more,
Want to keep it for themselves,
No thought of helping others,
Only thinking of themselves
And not the starving or the dying,
That are leaving our world in droves.
One day I would like the world to be saved,
To be the place where all are at peace,
All are safe,
All are fed,
And love abounds around us.
The world would become a stage,
‘As you like it’.

You paint a picture of global paradise to which I add a loud Amen dear poet friend. May that wish for safety and peace one day come true. A n inspiring read.
Amen, Fay, Amen.
Sorry couldn't resist that! This reflects the hopes we all bear and a great write into the bargain.
If only....
Thank you Michael.
Good write. I don't agree with all of Shakespeare's quotes, sayings, etc.
Nor do I but this one fitted for what I wanted to say.
A fine write.
yes it could be just that easy. but for greed in its many colors? nice thoughts goldfinch!
Thank you WW, one day maybe.
Only together will we all face this and succeed and I hope we do. I believe we need more than hope though, we need action. Absolutely wonderful write.
Thank you very much poetboy, much appreciated.
Great thought!
Thank you WBL, one day I hope those thoughts may become actions.
