The Beacon Of Hope

Look at what we've done to our world

So miserable, gloomy, glum and cold,

As her silent tears run down her cheeks

Spilling into seas, oceans, rivers, and creeks

She watches as we shatter her to smithereens

We destroy her with no mercy as for help she screams,

She sees that true friendship and kindness don't exist anymore

However, betrayal, false friends and selfishness exist the core,

In avarice and materialism her children thrive

Still in terror, her girl children walk the streets alone especially at nights,

BUT there is still time to lend a helping hand

And pull our brothers and sisters from the dark abyss to stand,

There is still time to bring empathy and peace

To this world of hate, we must cease,

There's time to fill our hearts with compassion

And bring an end to misery and suffering through salvation,

A world that flourishes with pure and benevolent hearts

A world in which humanity and unity are the mind's new art,

One compassionate heart at a time

We can make our world pristine and prime,

And we the children of Mother Earth

Can stand united as one large family with great mirth,

I hope that the world I dream to live in today

Comes true in the future someday,

But will this hope always remain a dream

Or will the beacon of hope be kindled into a raging inferno?
