Winter In Our Hearts

Our hearts feel winter's icy touch and iron grip.

Selfishness reigns supreme as society seems to slip.

Into a state of cold and cruel indifference.

Where caring and concern are mere pretence.

As the snow falls softly from the dark and gloomy sky.

We turn our backs on hungry, homeless and walk on by.

Ignoring the cries of those in need.

Feeling no guilt, shame, or even heed.

We wrap ourselves in layers of selfishness.

Hiding behind our own self-righteousness.

Unwilling to lend a helping hand.

To those who struggle on this frozen land.

The winds howl and the snow falls.

But no one seems to hear the calls.

Of those in need, those left out in the cold.

Their cries for help drowned out by the bold.

The icy winds blow, but no one seems to feel,

No hearts are warmed; no kindness is revealed.

People pass each other by, eyes fixed on screens,

Ignoring the cries, of those who are in need.

The streets are empty, save for a few

Who brave the cold and icy dew

While the rest stay warm and cozy inside

Leaving the vulnerable to freeze and hide

The sky is grey and ominous.

The darkness never seems to leave us.

We huddle by the fire and pray.

For the warmth to come our way.

I see a dream where winter fades and spring arrives.

Filling my heart with hope that love and kindness will thrive.

That we'll emerge from our icy cocoon.

And rediscover the warmth of compassion and boon.

In my dream, the world is filled with love and care.

As spring blooms bring new life everywhere.

The air is filled with the sweet aroma of flowers.

And the warmth of the sun shines down for hours.

There is no hate, no division, or strife.

Only acceptance, kindness, and peaceful life.

People work together, hand in hand.

To build a society that understands.

That love and care are what we all need.

To create a world that's truly freed.

From all the darkness and the pain.

We rise up and start again.

Hope for a better tomorrow fills the air.

As we all work together without any care.

For our differences, or what we may lack.

We lift each other up and never look back.

So I dream and hope for a brighter day.

Where love and care guide us on our way.

Let spring bring new beginnings, new starts.

And a society filled with love in our hearts.

In this world, all people are equal and free.

No one left behind or forgotten, can't you see?

We work together, hand in hand.

To create a world that's truly grand.

We share our resources and take care of our earth.

No more pollution or destruction, a new birth.

Animals roam free and the oceans are clean.

Nature thrives, it's a dream so serene.

Oh Yes, winter won't last forever, it's true.

Spring will come, with flowers anew.

Perhaps then we'll remember our humanity.

And help those in need, with generosity.

I wake up with a smile on my face.

Hoping that one day, this dream takes its place.

A better world is possible; I know it to be true.

And I'll do everything in my power to make it come through.
