The World
By John R. Greenwood
The world is changing
I think
For every step forward
a clipity-clop back
but then in the distance
a nano second flashes by
I turn to look in the mirror
a boy flashes by
Wars still rage in far away places
and in the school yard
bullies still display their fear
painters continue to paint
while children play
The winds cleanse weakened minds
the vulture media replenishes
never at a loss for fuel
always an audience waiting
The world is mine for the taking
kindness mine for the giving
choices
the fine line
between the beginning and the end
This is a wonderful poem, John, and the perfect image to complement it.
ReplyDeleteoh, so true on those choices being the fineline between....
ReplyDeletethere is enough good and bad in the world..
our choices pick our side.
