The World Is….
Stepping back
The world is
The way
The world is
Because
The world is
The way we want it
Otherwise
The world would be
The way
The world would be
If the collective
Wanted that more
A strange supposition indeed
However
Must be some crazy
Yin and yang
If we didn’t have a
Belly that was empty
We wouldn’t have a
Belly to fill
If we didn’t have a
Homeless person
We wouldn’t have a
House to build
If we didn’t have a
War to fight
We wouldn’t have a
War to stop
If we didn’t have a
Planet to destroy
We wouldn’t have a
Planet to save
Certainly I’d have
Nothing to write about
The way
The world is…..
If the world
Was the way
Of peace, harmony
Sharing, compassion
Love and understanding
And
I’m okay with that
“Just an observation,
Maybe I need
Different glasses.”
– Angelo Devlin
I am sure that somewhere on a cool dark mountaintop, there is a giant comfortable warm beanbag with my name on it.
Where I could engage in the dichotomous act of navel gazing and stargazing to contemplate infinity for infinity’s sake. Experience the pulse of the cosmos while breathing in the vacuum of space.
We need lots of those beanbags and mountain tops! Sign me up.
