World Peace
What would it look like if there were world peace?
If people looked lovingly at others for ways to please?
Selfishness would be lost in a sea of love.
No one would feel isolated and never enough.
What would this world look like if no wars were engaged,
If wealth all was dispersed and the hungry were assuaged,
If everyone had everything that they need to feel blessed,
Instead of conceited people boasting that they are the best?
What if we looked out for others with the same regard, we give ourselves?
What if we really cared and into each other’s souls we did delve?
What if our priorities were saving the things that matter, such as planted earth?
What if we weren’t focused on entertainment, follies and mirth?
I cannot begin to imagine a selfless world that should be,
But maybe this world can start with a little of you and a little of me.
What can you do today to make this world a better place?
Can you spread love, compassion, and grace?
Until that day when pain cease to exist,
And life is euphoric and filled only with bliss,
I’ll keep on striving for an imaginary end,
Until one day one of many options amend.
One option is I pass on from this world to a place unknown.
Until that day I will make sure my choices are not blown.
I will strive to do good and make an impact on this world.
I will hope that a light in the darkness will be thirled.
Another option for some is the idea of an eternal paradise.
A eutopia where evil is vanquished for the good and the nice.
Ever-lasting bliss where we celebrate with praise,
The One who has brought us through all of our days.
Some believe in a cosmic shift of our energy.
Where we ascend to another plane of universal synergy.
Maybe we change forms and become one with the universe.
Infinite knowledge, while space and time we transverse.
Regardless of what becomes of our lives in the end,
What matters most is how our time is now spent.
Does it matter what our lives are in the future to be,
If we do not live our best for the world we now see?
So, make an impact and try to make the world a better place,
With compassion and love, find a dream for to chase.
May your dream bring you joy and bless all that you serve.
May you live with excitement, enthusiasm, and verve.
A life well spend won’t be looked on with regret.
Our failures will be lessons we use and not fret.
We live, and we learn, and we go on each day.
We grow, and we love, and we bless others, we pray.
So please be the awesome person that you’re meant to be.
You can have influence in this world you see.
Only you can fill a spot that is shaped just like you,
In the fabric of life, your value is infinitely true.
Be the blessing you are fully meant to become.
Never doubt your worth no matter where you’re from.
Believe in yourself and in others too.
Believe in yourself like I believe in you.
